GCSM - Water Table Depth
1987-01-02
This layer consists of a polygon shapefile at 1:250,000 scale containing depth-to-water table estimates used in preparing the GCSM for Wisconsin. The depth to water table is the distance from the land surface to the water table. The distance water must flow to reach the groundwater, combined with the ease with which movement occurs, play a significant role indetermining the susceptibility of an area to contamination. <div><br /></div><div><span style='font-size: 13pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;'>See the usage documentation (</span><a href='https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=e1e89ae505594459a46407f1daf4ad5d' target='_blank'>https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=e1e89ae505594459a46407f1daf4ad5d</a><span style='font-size: 13pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;'>) and the Full report (</span><a href='https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=fd4d0c43abc04b4ab915586d9a0e89dd' target='_blank'>https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=fd4d0c43abc04b4ab915586d9a0e89dd</a><span style='font-size: 13pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;'>) for more information.</span><br /></div>

The GCSM is derived from generalized statewide information at small scales and cannot be used for any site-specific purposes. For example, siting waste disposal facilities or locating an industry requires site-specific, geologic and hydrogeologic information, and cannot be made based on the composite groundwater contamination susceptibility map. The GCSM does not consider the individual characteristics of individual contaminants or the subsurface release of contaminants. That is, it only considers the ability of water to move from the land surface to the water table. The model is intended for use by state agencies and others when deciding where they should more closely study impacts on groundwater. Local officials can also use the GCSM in determining whether their region needs to be studied in more detail for potential groundwater problems.<div><span style='font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:11.5pt;'><br /></span></div><div><span style='font-size:medium; color:rgb(50, 49, 48); font-family:"Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;'>This data is for informational purposes only and may not have been prepared for or be suitable for legal, engineering or surveying purposes.
