      Title:
        Annual groundwater recharge for 2018, City of Waupaca, Wisconsin
      Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data
  Description:
    Abstract:
      This raster dataset provides an estimate of the distribution of groundwater recharge for the year 2018 near the City of Waupaca, Wisconsin. The dataset was created by simulating the fate of precipitation and snowmelt on the land surface and within the soil zone using a soil-water balance model and daily climate observations, and modified to include estimated irrigation recharge. The methodology and results are documented in an accompanying summary report.
    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. Groundwater recharge is an important input to groundwater flow models. More information can be found in the accompanying report, available from the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey.

Data_Quality_Information:
  Completeness_Report:
    This raster dataset provides an estimate of the annual distribution of potential groundwater recharge for 2018 derived from a soil-water balance method. This method does not account for the underlying groundwater flow regime, so areas of groundwater discharge or where groundwater is near the surface, such as surface water bodies or wetlands, are difficult to accurately represent. Raster cell values indicate mean annual groundwater recharge in inches per year as calculated by a computer model. While general comparisons of model inputs to computed recharge indicated consistent results, no extensive comparisons of specific input raster values to model inputs and calculations were completed. Overall, the general spatial distribution of recharge is consistent with regional soil characteristics and land use patterns data, and the temporal distribution is representative of the climate record.
