This Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) GeoPackage (.gpkg) contains water-well point features and associated tables for the state of Minnesota that have been reformatted based on a USGS profile of the OGC GroundWaterML2 (GWML2) standard (https://docs.ogc.org/is/19-013/19-013.html). Additionally, the water-well records have been quality-assured to remove or nullify parts of water-well records found to be erroneous or logically inconsistent, harmonized via the assignment of common data codes in the lithologic log, and supplemented with estimates of transmissivity from the analysis of specific-capacity data. The National Water-Well Database (NWWDB) is a compilation of water-well records from state-managed databases that have been standardized to a common format for consistency across state and administrative boundaries. Water-well completion reports that are submitted to permitting state agencies by licensed drillers constitute a large source of hydrogeologic information, including the locations and distribution of water wells, construction materials and completion depths, lithologic logs, groundwater levels, and the results of pumping or aquifer tests.

This child item contains geology and hydrogeology data used in the hydrogeologic characterization of the Lake Superior watershed and a shapefile of water budget zones for reporting water budget terms for Lake Superior. The geology data include shapefiles of bedrock units from the USGS Geologic map database (Horton, 2017) and surficial geology units from Soller and others (2012). A compilation of hydrogeologic properties (hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity) from a variety of studies in and around the Lake Superior basin and from a field study conducted in 2021 is included in a data table and the values are applied to the bedrock and surficial unit shapefiles. We also include here a zipped grid of simulated groundwater discharge to surface water (rivers and streams) extracted from the Zell and Sanford (2020) MODFLOW6 model of the shallow groundwater in the United States. The sources of data used in the compilation of properties also are included.

This dataset includes over 49,000 well records from the state well drillers databases in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Each state well has at a minimum the well depth and a static water level. Static water levels were mostly determined when the well was constructed. Data included in this shapefile include the well construction date, well depth, well elevation (if determined), type of well, the methods used for determining the well location and elevation (if determined), casing and screen depths (where reported), the static water level and a date, and the year the well was constructed. The field names from each of the state databases were harmonized to merge the data, and a table of the original field names is included. Tabular files are included with codes describing the original field names mapped to the combined field names, and descriptions of codes used to describe the well location method, well depth method, and well type for each state. The USGS wells in this dataset were pulled from the National Water Information System (NWIS) and have at least one water level measurement. Additional data for the NWIS wells can be retrieved from the USGS National Water Dashboard https://dashboard.waterdata.usgs.gov/app/nwd/en/?region=lower48&aoi=default.
