Lineage | Wells were selected from the County Well Index (CWI) database managed by the Minnesota Department of Health and the Minnesota Geological Survey, based on known location, well log, and other site characteristics to assure the water sample was obtained from the desired unit. Samples of well water were obtained and analyzed for general chemistry, tritium, and carbon-14. These wells were sampled in the field by Todd Petersen or Jeanette Leete (DNR); or Scott Alexander (University of Minnesota) using pumps and equipment already installed in the well by the owner. The analysis results for the samples were provided to the DNR as electronic spreadsheets. The spreadsheet data were converted to Access Data Tables by Todd Petersen and subsequently converted to ArcView shapefiles. The data were transferred to the GIS specialist as an ArcView Shapefile.
