  Description:
    Abstract: Polygons represent the area served by municipal community water systems. The majority of the area boundaries correspond to city and village boundaries (https://geodata.wisc.edu/catalog/LTSB-wi-municipal-wards-march-2021). If the polygon is flagged with "Confirmed area" = Y, then the boundaries have been confirmed by either the County (for Plover and Stevens Point municipalities) or by utility managers of the city or village (confirmed by phone calls or emails). The town of Rome, the Necedah Village, and the Plover - Stevens Point polygons do not correspond to their city or village boundaries. Specifics on the shape and extension of these polygons were transferred as maps or shapefiles by email.
    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/).
