groundwater, hydrogeology, water-table elevation
These data were produced as part of a project to inventory and assess Columbia County's groundwater resources. Information about regional hydrologic conditions can help guide planning decisions concerning land use and water resources. Mapped water-table elevations were verified at several locations throughout the county using water-table elevation data from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources online database of closed remediation sites. Monitoring wells are excellent indicators of water-table elevation because they are often screened across or just below the water table, and water levels are often measured multiple times over multiple years.
These data depict select contamination investigation sites in Columbia County, Wisconsin, and the approximate water-table elevation for each location as derived from monitoring well data. The data were obtained from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources online database of closed remediation sites.
The map data are a regional interpretation of the water table, intended for presentation at a scale of 1:100,000, and may not be sufficient for use at a site-specific scale.
