Water Data Act API

As part of the Water Data Act’s Water Data Initiative (WDI), the Energy, Mineral and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD) has developed the Water Data Act API project. These APIs offer powerful tools for developers, researchers, and organizations to access comprehensive water-related information. In addition to water data, API access allows users to query additional parameters such as well production, operator status, natural gas waste, incidents, facilities, and more.

Visit the Water Data Act API page to learn more.
