  Description
    Abstract:
      Monitor wells monitor changes in groundwater
      depth and changes in nitrate concentration in groundwater.
      Well locations have been marked using a GPS system by the
      Nebraska Natural Resources Survey Crews in the specified
      district.  These GPS'd points have been brought into an Arc
      coverage.
    Purpose:
      The intent of this coverage is to track the locations
      of monitor wells throughout the natural resource or irrigation
      district areas within the Cooperative Hydrology Study boundary.

DATA_QUALITY_INFORMATION

  Attribute_Accuracy
    Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
      high.  Exact location of wells are
      collected using a dual frequency LEICA GPS units.  Approximate
      locations were collected using files from the natural resources
      and irrigation districts, and verified using a GPS.
  Logical_Consistency_Report:
      Locations derived from legal
      descriptions were verified by ground checking.
  Completeness_Report:
  Positional_Accuracy
    Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy
      Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
        high.
        This data was gathered using a dual frequency LEICA GPS unit
        with 5mm plus 1 ppm horizontal accuracy.
    Vertical_Positional_Accuracy
      Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
