Steps
Start at usgs.gov/mission-areas/water-resources/science/domestic-private-supply-wells for the program landing page, which summarizes NAWQA's sampling of roughly 2,100+ domestic wells across 30 regionally extensive aquifers in 48 states (1991-2004), testing up to 219 properties/contaminants (major ions, nutrients, trace elements, radon, pesticides, VOCs).
Use the summary circular (pubs.usgs.gov/publication/cir1332) and the Scientific Investigations Report (pubs.usgs.gov/publication/sir20085227) for the headline finding that over 20% of sampled wells contained at least one contaminant at a level of potential health concern.
For raw well-level records, query USGS's National Water Information System (NWIS) — the NAWQA domestic-well data and separate USGS state-level well data are both hosted there as distinct NWIS subsystems (QWDATA/GWSI).
Distinguish this USGS-only NWIS route from the multi-agency Water Quality Portal station/results queries already covered elsewhere in this corpus before citing a source.
Known gotchas
This NAWQA domestic-well study reflects private/unregulated wells, not public water systems, and its core sampling window (1991-2004) is old — check whether more recent NAWQA well data exist before treating this as current-year information.
NWIS here is a different access route/identifier space from the multi-agency Water Quality Portal already in this corpus — don't conflate the two systems' station or result IDs.
