Water sampling locations 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 point data for each water chemistry sampling location. Each point has attributes for the source of water, such as a groundwater well or stream; site name; site number, an identifier used in the accompanying report; sample date; temperature in degrees Celsius; electric conductivity in µs/cm; pH; and laboratory alkalinity, in mg/L. Additional laboratory results, as well as methodology and interpretation, and are documented in an accompanying summary report available from the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey.
- 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.
Water chemistry sampling can be used to evaluate water quality and changes across different site types. This data set contains sampling locations, site type, and field measurements.
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.

-
This dataset provides select water chemistry results measured in the field and in the laboratory. In most cases a single sample was obtained and thus represents only a snapshot of water chemistry. Inaccuracies in the results can stem from equipment limitations, procedure, or human error. Analytical procedures are documented in an accompanying summary report available from the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey.
