      Title:
        Saturated thickness of unconsolidated materials (glacial deposits), City of Waupaca, Wisconsin
      Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data
  Description:
    Abstract:
      This dataset consists of contour lines showing the saturated thickness of unconsolidated materials, defined as distance in feet from the water table to the top of bedrock, denoted by the attribute field “Contour.” The dataset was created by subtracting the estimated bedrock surface from the water table. The bedrock surface was interpreted using a combination of well construction reports and geophysical surveys. The methodology and results 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 investigate potential causes of solutions for rising levels of dissolved nitrate in two wells serving the City of Waupaca, Wisconsin. Saturated thickness maps show the variability and magnitude of glacial aquifer thickness, which influences groundwater flow and availability. Combined with geologic and water-table maps, saturated thickness maps can be used to develop a conceptual framework for the hydrogeologic system.

Data_Quality_Information:
  Completeness_Report:
    The interpreted saturated thickness contours depend on the data quality of both the interpreted bedrock surface and the model-simulated water table. The bedrock surface is based on available point data of varying quality and scale. The water table was exported from a two-layer groundwater flow model. Areas near surface water features and areas with local subsurface variability not captured in the model may not be accurately represented well. The performance of the model compared to known head and baseflow measurements is included in the report. The saturated thickness contour interval was selected to reflect the interpreted accuracy of the input data.
