      Title:
        Hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity estimates for glacial materials, City of Waupaca, Wisconsin
      Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data
  Description:
    Abstract:
      This dataset consists of point data for each glacial well analyzed using TGUESS, slug tests, or pumping tests. Each well has as estimate of the hydraulic conductivity in feet/day ("k_ft_day_"). TGUESS estimates hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity from specific capacity tests conducted by well drillers. This data set contains only wells completed in unconsolidated deposits with no obvious errors; wells with spurious data were eliminated.
    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. Hydraulic conductivity was estimated using the TGUESS method from pumping tests conducted by well drillers, as well as aquifer tests. This data set contains only the estimates from wells completed in unconsolidated materials (glacial deposits). Taken as a whole, this dataset can guide interpretation of magnitude and spatial variation of hydraulic properties.

Data_Quality_Information:
  Completeness_Report:
    This dataset provides the estimated hydraulic conductivity based on well construction reports of varying quality. Specific capacity reports commonly contain numerous errors and spurious data. Hydraulic property estimates are only as good as the specific capacity data reported by well drillers.
