<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This digital product contains gridded estimates of the elevation of the base of the unconfined portion of the Columbia aquifer for Sussex County, Delaware. Mapping was supported by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and the Delaware Geological Survey. These grids were produced with the methods described in Andres and Klingbeil (2006). Additional analyses of the hydrogeologic framework and grids are also contained in that report. Briefly, the method to determine the elevation of the base of the aquifer includes assessing the elevation of subsurface materials in descriptive and geophysical logs and using computer-based interpolation to estimate elevation across the study area. Separate grids were determined for eastern and western Sussex County and were merged and smoothed to minimize edge effects. The elevation grids has 30-m horizontal and 1-ft vertical resolutions.

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Delaware Geological Survey (DGS) is constantly gathering data from multiple sources, interpreting data, and reflecting its interpretations in a variety of data formats. DGS's interpretations are conceptualized in these grids of Depth to Water for Sussex County, DE. The water table is a continuous surface; however, observations of the surface exist at irregularly spaced locations. In this instance, regularly spaced grids of water-table elevations were estimated from site-specific observational data and are the model used to represent the water-table surface. Reasonable efforts have been made by the DGS to verify that the digital data provided herein accurately interpret the source data used in its preparation. These are estimated surfaces and they may be inappropriate for some applications. Detailed site-specific investigation may be required for evaluating individual sites. Persons wishing to apply the data in these grids to more detailed scales are encouraged to contact the DGS office for advisement. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed an expressed or implied waiver of the sovereign immunity of the State of Delaware or its duly authorized representatives, agents, or employees.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
