Data_Quality_Information:
  Attribute_Accuracy:
    Attribute_Accuracy_Report: The product was completed after a thorough documentation of well characteristics and recording of pump test details to determine the bedrock aquifer characteristics.
  Completeness_Report: In conducting the analysis, the author evaluated hundreds of water well records, especially those having relatively complete information on well location, construction, pump test, and lithology. There were many areas in the county with sparse information because of lack of well records or incomplete records. Few wells are being drilled in parts of the county served by a public water system.
  Positional_Accuracy:
    Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
      Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The locations of many wells were field checked and the locations posted on 7.5 minute topographic maps.  Visual confirmation of wells was not always possible. Many locations were based only on the street address, driving directions, or other location information provided on the well record.

    Process_Step:
      Process_Description: Data were selected by careful evaluation of water well records to determine if the wells were field located and if they contained complete and reasonable information.
      Process_Date: 2006
      Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: IDNR-DOW records for domestic and other supply wells submitted by water well drillers from 1959-2006
    Process_Step:
      Process_Description: After water well records selection was complete, specific well data and other maps and reports were considered in the mapping process. For example, aquifer thickness, pump rates, well depths, lithology, and depth to bedrock were obtained from well records. Other maps and reports included surficial/glacial geology, hydrogeologic settings, ground-water availability, bedrock topography, and surface topography. These sources were used to assist in defining the characteristics for each aquifer system.

      Process_Description: After BEDROCK_GEOL_MM48 shapefile was clipped several units were merged and the lines separating the units were removed.  The maps were then attributed by Jennifer K. McMillan. Attribute definitions are described below.
