Native_Data_Set_Environment:
ESRI ArcGIS shapefile format, Microsoft Windows XP, approximately 312 KB


Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The mapping was conducted after a thorough documentation of well characteristics and recording of pump test details.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The original GIS files were in ESRI coverage format, and topology was cleaned and built.
Completeness_Report:
In conducting the mapping, every attempt was made to take into account all water wells that had complete information on well logs, including complete location, construction, pump test, and lithological information. There were many areas in the basin that had insufficient information due to the particular drillers in the area who chronically under-report information on well logs or because of the pervasive insufficient supply of water.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The locations of the wells were field located, but the locations of actual wells were usually estimated from 7.5 minute topographic maps, and visual siting of wells was not always possible. Many locations were based on location of the street address on the well log.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Vertical accuracy was not a factor in the digital production of the data set.

After water well log selection was complete, other attributes were considered in the mapping process. For example, aquifer thickness, pump rates, well depths, geology, depth to bedrock, hydrogeologic settings, ground-water availability, bedrock topography, and previously published information were all used in deciding where to map bedrock aquifer systems.

The IDNR shapefile north_br_aq.shp was projected from UTM NAD27 Zone 16 to UTM NAD83 Zone 16 using the NADCON transformation method. The following fields were deleted from the original shapefile: PERIMETER, NORTH_BR_A,AQUIFER_TY,LOCAL_NAME (empty), THICKNESS (EMPTY), YIELD, CONTAM_POT (empty). The following fields were added or modified: AQ_TYPE (descriptive text field replaces AQUIFER_TY which was a numeric ID), YIELD_MIN (parsed from original YIELD field), YIELD_MAX (parsed from original YIELD field), COMMENTS (contents of original YIELD field were concatenated with any notes in the COMMENTS field). The metadata files for the input data layers were compiled and updated to describe the contents of this file.
