Varies Relevant metadata that should be captured varies based on site type.
Below is an example list of metadata entries that would be of most interest for groundwater wells and an associated crosswalk that captures how data fields from different agencies would be mapped onto each other. This mapping facilitates linking of common fields through the central platform of the WDI.
