      Title: Model-simulated water table elevation contours, City of Waupaca, Wisconsin
      Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data
  Description:
    Abstract: This dataset consists of contour lines showing the model-simulated water table elevation in feet above mean sea level, denoted by the attribute field Contour. The groundwater flow model was created using MODFLOW. 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. Water table maps show the elevation of the water table in feet above mean sea level. The water table was simulated by a groundwater flow model developed for this project. The simulated water table is useful for identifying groundwater elevation and flow direction
