- Abstract:
-
These data depict the approximate elevation of the water table in Calumet County, Wisconsin. Each contour line on the map connects points of equal water-table elevation. Groundwater elevations were estimated from the elevations of surface-water features such as streams, lakes, and wetlands and from the depth to water recorded on Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources well constructor's reports.
- Purpose:
-
These water-table elevation contours constitute 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.

-
The Calumet County Groundwater Project was funded by the Calumet County Board of Supervisors and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Bureau of Drinking Water and Groundwater.
- Native_Data_Set_Environment:
-
These data are distributed as an ESRI ArcInfo Coverage in Interchange (.E00) format. The data were originally compiled in ESRI Geodatabase (version 9.0) format.

-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
Proof plots of the water-table contours were visually inspected by the authors for attribute accuracy.
- Logical_Consistency_Report: Arc-node topology is present for the water-table contours.
- Completeness_Report:
-
Water-table elevation contours represent author's interpretation of the water table based on static water levels reported in wells, surface-water elevations, and topography. Only well records from wells that could be spatially located with a high degree of confidence, and wells where the reported depth-to-water was deemed to be representative of the water table were used.

-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
-
Water-table contours judged to be accurate at 1:100,000 scale; not intended for site-specific use.
- Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
-
Water-table elevations, derived from water-level measurements at wells and at surface-water 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. The groundwater elevation at wells was 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. Surface-water elevation was equated to land-surface elevation estimated from the DEM.

The National Elevation Dataset 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.

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 nearby surface-water elevation.

6. The land-surface elevation at each vertex of the contours was estimated from a digital elevation model and compared to the elevation value of the contour; contours that exceeded land-surface elevation in areas not covered by surface-water features were edited on-screen to be below land-surface elevation. Contours were also edited to produce smoother curves.
