      Title: Groundwater wells from construction reports, City of Waupaca, Wisconsin
      Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data
  Description:
    Abstract: This point feature class includes the location and other attributes of private and public water wells within the study area. The data were derived from Well Construction Reports (WCRs) submitted by well drillers to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The WCRs contain information recorded by the driller about the well location; depth of well and casing, liner, or screen; observed geologic materials; and water level in the well. The preliminary point locations of the wells were determined using a combination of coordinates, the street address of the property where the well was drilled, the property owner's name, or the public land survey description, as recorded by the well driller. Each record was inspected and the point location refined based on location description in the WCR. Data points that were assessed to be within 200 feet of the actual physical location were included in this dataset. The data sources, 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. This dataset provides locations and other properties of private and public drinking water wells. The data were used to determine geologic and hydrogeologic conditions and interpret hydrostratigraphic variables such as bedrock elevation and aquifer thickness.

Data_Quality_Information:
  Completeness_Report: Well construction reports commonly contain errors and spurious data. The accuracy of the well properties presented here depend on the quality of the initial data reported by well drillers. The well locations vary in accuracy; the estimated spatial confidence for the records in this dataset is within 200 feet of the true location.
