  Description:
    Abstract: This dataset includes all the wells with WUWN that we could find in the GDB from WGNHS, the Groundwater Retrieval Networks from DNR, and Portage County well dataset, and the nitrate datasets. This layer includes information on well location and well properties.'Accurate_PLSS_WDB': location accuracy of the PLSS'PLSS_source_WDB': Info on Township, Range, and Section where the well is located'PLSS_final_WDB': Source(s) of the PLSS information'Accurate_ConDate_WDB': Accurate is = 'Y' if a) at least two well datasets agree with each other or b) the data source is only one. Accurate is = 'N' if a) all datasets give different well construction date 'ConDate_source_WDB': Source(s) of the well construction date information'Construction_date_final_WDB': Well construction date 'Accurate_WellD_WDB': Accurate is = 'Y' if a) at least two well datasets agree with each other or b) the data source is only one or c) the well depth is >= water depth or d) well depth is >= casing bottom depth. Accurate is = 'N' if a) all datasets give different well depths or b )the well depth is 'WellD_source_WDB': Source(s) of the well depth information'WellD_final_WDB': Depth of the well bottom in feet 'Accurate_CasingB_WDB': Accurate is = 'Y' if a) at least two well datasets agree with each other or b) the data source is only one or c) the casing bottom depth well depth 'CasingB_source_WDB': Source(s) of the casing bottom depth information'CasingB_final_WDB': Depth of the casing bottom in feet'Accurate_WaterD_WDB': Accurate is = 'Y' if a) at least two well datasets agree with each other or b) the data source is only one or c) the water depth well depth'WaterD_source_WDB': Source(s) of the water depth information'WaterD_final_WDB': Static water level at the time of construction of the well in feet 'Accurate_ConType_WDB': Accurate is = 'Y' if a) at least two well datasets agree with each other or b) the data source is only one. Accurate is = 'N' if a) all datasets give different well construction type 'ConType_source_WDB': Source(s) of the well construction type information'ConType_final_WDB': Well construction type'WellUse_source_WDB': Well use'WellUse_final_WDB':Source (s) of well use information'PWS_ID': Public water system ID'PWS_ID_source': Source (s) of Public water system ID information'HighCap_source': marked as "Y" if the well is a high-capacity well. Most of this information comes from DNR datasets (Groundwater Retrieval Network and other datasets privately shared)'HighCap': Source(s) of the high cap information'Bedrock_depth_ft_GRN': bedrock depth from the Groundwater Retrieval Network'Bedrock_depth_GDB': bedrock depth from the GDB (internal well dataset WGNHS)
    Purpose: The Central Sands nitrate and neonicotinoid database consists of over 100,000 measurements of nitrate and neonicotinoid concentrations in groundwater from wells across Adams, Juneau, Marquette, Portage, Waushara, and Wood counties collected between 1953 and 2021. These counties comprise the Central Sands Groundwater County Collaborative (GSGCC), which facilitated the project to gather these data. The purpose of the project was in order to evaluate trends in nitrate and neonicotinoid concentrations in groundwater and explore correlations between groundwater-quality and land-use type. Findings of this investigation are available in a report published by the Water Resources Institute at UW Madison (https://www.wri.wisc.edu/research-archives/datcp2022-1-final-report/).
