- Title:
-
Approximate flow direction simulated by groundwater flow model in the the Great Divide District in the Washburn/Great Divide Unit of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, Wisconsin
- Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data
- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
This dataset consists of simulated groundwater flow paths from a groundwater flow model. The lines represent the plan-view trace of an imaginary particle beginning at the top of the water table and ending at a groundwater discharge point such as a stream or stopping after a certain amount of time.
The groundwater flow model was created using the analytic element code GFLOW. The methodology and results are documented in an accompanying summary report available from the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey. The groundwater flow model is two-dimensional regional model and may not be accurate for site-specific applications.
- Purpose:
-
This dataset was produced as part of a project to assess groundwater resources across the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Groundwater is an important resource for the forest, and a more comprehensive understanding of this resource can help guide land management decisions.
This dataset includes the simulated groundwater flow direction from a groundwater flow model developed for this project. These model results can be used to identify regional flow direction and relative areas of recharge and discharge.
The datasets produced as part of this project are divided by location into four groups, corresponding to the four main National Forest Units: Medford, Nicolet, Park Falls, and Washburn/Great Divide. This dataset is located in the Washburn/Great Divide Unit.

- Data_Quality_Information:
-
- Completeness_Report:
-
The groundwater flow paths in this dataset were exported from a two-dimensional, regional groundwater flow model. Areas with local subsurface variability not captured in the model may not be represented well. The performance of the model compared to head and baseflow measurements is included in the accompanying report.
