- Description:

- Abstract:
-
Information from well constructor's reports (WCRs) was used to construct the water-table elevation contours for Calumet County, Wisconsin. These well locations, in addition to surface-water elevations, were used as control points for the contours.
- Purpose:
-
Those wells representing the water table were a part of the data compiled and analyzed for the Calumet County Groundwater Project. The purpose of this project was to provide information pertinent to protecting the quality of groundwater resources in Calumet County.

No systematic quality control of data entry of Wisconsin Unique Well Numbers, depth to water or unit of well completion was performed; errors discovered during processing and use of the data were corrected.
- Logical_Consistency_Report: Point topology is present for the wells.

Water-table elevation contours represent author's interpretation of water table based on static water levels reported in wells, surface-water elevations, and topography.

-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
-
Location of wells on well constructor's reports was determined using a variety of sources, including aerial photographs, plat maps, and subdivision maps. Well constructor's reports were only used if the location of the well could be determined with a reasonable degree of confidence. Wells were assigned an accuracy rating of 1 to 5; 5 is most accurate. These accuracy values are found in the "XY_ACCURAC" field of the attribute table.

-
Land-surface elevations for the well locations were estimated using the National Elevation Dataset (NED) digital elevation model (DEM), and the maximum allowable vertical error (as root mean squared error) for Level 2 DEMs (from which the NED was for the most part derived) is one-half the contour interval of the source U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute topographic map. Therefore, the estimated land-surface elevation of each well is assumed to be within one-half of the contour interval of the 7.5-minute topographic map on which it is located. Errors in the horizontal location of each well provide an additional source of error in the land surface elevation estimate. Groundwater elevation at wells calculated by subtracting depth to water recorded on well constructor's reports from DEM estimate of land-surface elevation. Groundwater elevation was taken as equal to surface-water elevation at the location of surface-water bodies where surface water was judged to not be artificially maintained.

- Source_Contribution:
-
NED data provided approximate land-surface elevations at well locations and surface-water features that are representative of the water table. We used the elevation of land surface to check that approximate water-table elevations were not above land surface where no surface-water features were present.

-
- Process_Description:
-
1. The location of water wells (represented by WCRs) were verified using base information from the DRGs.

2. For water wells with a verified location, land-surface elevations were estimated using a digital elevation model. Static depths to water reported on WCRs were subtracted from land-surface elevation estimates to estimate static water-level elevations in wells. Wells with water levels judged not representative of the water table were removed from the data set. Basis for removing water levels included uncertainty in x,y location of well, well open interval too deep to provide reasonable estimate of water table, well open interval not in uppermost aquifer, or estimated water-table elevation not consistent with near-by surface-water elevation.
