Lowland groundwater levels and groundwater temperatures were measured continuously near the town of Delta Junction, Interior Alaska, starting in mid-December 2014. Groundwater levels were measured ~800 m east of the Delta River and ~1.6 km downstream of the Jarvis Creek-Delta River confluence (64.04N, -145.74W, 354 m.a.s.l.). Groundwater levels and temperature were measured inside an unused ~40 m deep household well with a ~15 cm diameter steel pipe and casing. Groundwater data was logged every hour on a non-vented pressure transducer, which was hung on a wire. The purpose of the dataset was to quantify the seasonal variation in lowland groundwater levels and groundwater temperatures in Interior Alaska.
