POTENTIOM ETRIC SU RFACE M AP OF THE U NCONSOLIDATEDAQU IFERS OF W AYNE COU NTY, INDIANAW ayne County is locate d in the east-ce ntral se ction of Ind iana, ad jace nt to the state of Ohio, and is b ound e d b y the counties ofRand olp h, Henry, Fayette and U nion.The Pote ntiom etric Surface M ap (PSM ) of the unconsolid ate d aquifers of W ayne County was m ap p e d b y contouring the e levations of2148 static water-leve ls re p orte d on we ll re cord s re c e ive d prim arily over a 50 year p eriod . These we lls are com p lete d in aquifers atvarious d e p ths, and typ ically, und er confine d cond itions (b ound e d b y im p erm eab le layers ab ove and b e low the water b earingform ation). However, som e we lls were com p lete d und er unconfine d (not b ound e d b y im p erm eab le layers) settings. The m ap p e dp ote ntiom etric surface contours are prim arily for the up p er 100 fe et of the unconsolid ate d m aterials and utilize d ata for we lls 100 fe etor less in d e p th. If the shallow d ata was sparse or unavailab le in an area, we lls greater than 100 fe et in d e p th were use d to com p le m e ntthe m ap p ing.The p ote ntiom etric surface is a m easure of the pressure on water in a water b earing form ation. W ater in an unconfine d aquifer is atatm osp heric pressure and will not rise in a we ll ab ove the top of the aquifer, in contrast to ground water in a confine d aquifer which isund er hyd rostatic pressure and will rise in a we ll ab ove the top of the water b earing form ation.Static water-leve l m easurem e nts in ind ivid ual we lls use d to construct county PSM ’s are ind icative of the water-leve l at the tim e of we llcom p letion. The ground water leve l within an aquifer constantly fluctuates in resp onse to rainfall, evap otransp iration, ground waterm ove m e nt and pum p age. There fore, m easure d static water-leve ls in an area m ay d iffer d ue to local or seasonal variations. Be causefluctuations in ground water are typ ically sm all, static water-leve ls can b e use d to construct a ge neralize d PSM . As a ge neral rule, b utcertainly not always, ground water flow ap p roxim ates the overlying top ograp hy and interse cts the land surface at m ajor stream s.U niversal Transverse M ercator (U TM ) coord inates for the water we lls were e ither p hysically ob taine d in the fie ld , d eterm ine d throughad d ress ge ocod ing, or re p orte d on water we ll re cord s. The location of the m ajority of the water we ll re cord s use d to m ake the PSMwere fie ld verifie d . Elevation d ata were ob taine d from a d igital e levation m od e l. Quality control/quality assurance proce d ures wereutilize d to refine or re m ove d ata where errors were read ily ap p are nt.Pote ntiom etric surface e levations range from a high of 1160 fe et m ean sea leve l (m sl) in the northeastern corner of the county, to a lowof 840 fe et m sl in the southwestern p ortion. Ground water flow d ire ction is ge nerally to the south-southwest toward s m ajor d rainage inthe county. In p ortions of the county, where d ata is lacking and /or covere d b y thin or unprod uctive d e p osits, p ote ntiom etric surfacee levation contours have not b e e n exte nd e d through these areas. The p ote ntiom etric contour lines crossing through M id d le ForkReservoir re p rese nts the p ote ntiom etric surface of the ground water in the im m e d iate area, not the water leve l of the reservoir, which isa m an-m ad e feature.The county PSM can b e use d to d e fine the re gional ground water flow path and to id e ntify significant areas of ground water re chargeand d ischarge. County PSM ’s re prese nt overall regional characteristics and are not inte nd e d to b e a sub stitute for site-sp e cific stud ies.
