Summary

This dataset contains the lithologic class and topographic position index information and quality-assurance and quality-control data not available in the online National Water Information System for 47 domestic wells sampled by the U.S. Geological Survey in Potter County, Pennsylvania, April-September 2017. The topographic position index (TPI) for each well location was computed on the basis of a 25-meter digital elevation model (U.S. Geological Survey, 2009) using criteria reported by Llewellyn (2014) to indicate potential classes for topographic setting. The bedrock geologic unit and primary lithology were determined for each well location on the basis of the digital bedrock geologic map of Pennsylvania (Miles and Whitfield, 2001). [...]

Purpose

The purpose of this dataset is to provide the ancillary and quality-assurance datasets not available in the online National Water Information System (NWIS) and NWIS links to water-quality data for 47 domestic wells sampled by USGS in support of the Potter County groundwater quality study. The Potter County groundwater quality study was done to compare the groundwater quality from private domestic-supply wells to drinking-water standards and to evaluate natural and anthropogenic influences on groundwater quality in Potter County, Pennsylvania.
