Lineage:
These files were made with water level information from two general sources: driller's logs from the County Well Index (CWI) database managed by the Minnesota Department of Health and the Minnesota Geological Survey with verified locations and measurements by DNR staff in conjunction with well sampling for this atlas project. The driller's log data represent a dataset that was collected over a period of several decades and spans seasonal and multi-year climatic trends of wet and dry conditions. Where the dataset included both CWI driller's log information and water levels collected by DNR staff, the DNR data were used.
Static water elevation data from CWI and DNR project data were contoured with the Topo to Raster tool (no drainage enforcement) to produce an elevation raster per aquifer unit, from which contours were generated.
