Entity and Attribute Overview | |
Entity and Attribute Detailed Citation | chempt | | | | RELATEID | Four 0's followed by 6 digit unique number for wells, or the Lake id from DNR Lakes Database + 2 digits for a site at a lake (01,02, etc.), or a 2-digit county number followed by 'A' followed by a 7-digit unique number for a spring | | AQUIFER | Aquifer code. The aquifers are identified as "QBAA", "CJDN", "CFIG", "CIGL", "CMTS", and "PMHN". | | BD_AQ_NAME | Bedrock aquifer name. The bedrock aquifers are identified as "Jordan", "Upper Tunnel City-Wonewoc", "Wonewoc", "Mt. Simon", and "Hinckley". | | AQUIFER_Q | Quaternary aquifer name, usually mapped at county scale. The aquifers are identified as "SDV", "SDJ", "SC", "SB", "SX", "SU", and "unnamed". Quaternary aquifers are named after buried sand units shown on Plate 5, Part A. Bedrock aquifers are represented by " ". | | TRITIUM | Tritium in Tritium Units (TU). | | H3_NUM | Tritium in Tritium Units (TU) as a numeric value. | | TRIT_AGE | Residence time estimated from tritium value.
"MIXED" - Greater than 1 TU and less than 8 TU.
"VINTAGE" - Less than or equal to 1 TU. | | ARSENIC | Arsenic concentration in micrograms per liter. | | AS_NUM | Arsenic concentration in micrograms per liter as numeric values (values equal to 0 mean not dectected or not sampled). | | CHLORIDE | Chloride concentration in milligrams per liter. | | CL_NUM | Chloride concentration in milligrams per liter as numeric values. | | C14_YEARS | Groundwater residence time in years, estimated by carbon-14 isotope analysis (Model estimated age in years rounded to 1 significant digit). | | | NEW_CODE | Updated aquifer codes as of August 1, 2014 to account for stratigraphic nomenclature changes. The new codes correspond with the codes found under the AQUIFER field. |
