#  REPORT_ARCHIVAL_DATA_SET: dmstqw.wellsites.txt
#
#   This data set contains site information for domestic wells included in
#   the subject reports. The data were retrieved from the NAWQA internal 
#   Data Warehouse (DWH) mostly in December 2004, and information from 
#   other sources was added thereafter. The data set includes station  
#   identifiers, latitude and longitude, NAWQA study type, NAWQA study unit, 
#   principal aquifer and principal aquifer rock type, and land-use category
#   for a 500-meter (1,640-foot or 0.3-mile) buffer area around the wells.
