| Title | Groundwater Management Areas | |||
| Abstract | A Groundwater Management Area (GWMA) is the surface and subsurface area within which a GWMA Plan, approved by the commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources, is implemented in accordance with Minnesota Statute 103G.287, Subd. 4. The boundaries of a GWMA are delineated by identifiable physical features, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Catchments, and/or political or administrative boundaries. | |||
| Purpose | To identify GWMA boundaries on maps or using GIS software. | |||

| Attribute Accuracy | ||||
| Logical Consistency | Data are topologically correct using ArcGIS 10.2. | |||
| Completeness | Complete | |||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | No quantitative studies of horizontal positional accuracy exist for the watershed boundary source data. Although positional accuracy of watershed delineations can be arbitrary, accuracy of these data can be reasonably estimated based on the characteristics of all source materials and processing techniques to be 100 feet (30 meters) from correct position. The accuracy of the political and administrative boundary source data varies but is +/- 40 feet (12 meters) for most data. | |||
| Lineage | The sources of boundary feature data include: DNR Hydrography Dataset (MNDNR) and City Township and Unorganized Territory (CTU) Boundaries Minnesota (MnGeo). See the Groundwater Management Area documentation for information on boundary feature selection. | |||
