Mapping of Potentiometric Surface of Uppermost Karst Aquifer

All accessible water wells and monitoring wells in the area will be measured during a dry period and the depth to water subtracted from the ground surface elevation. The ground surface elevations will be measured to 0.01 foot by leveling from benchmarks. In addition to wells, the elevations of springs, karst windows and selected points along streams and lakes will also be measured by leveling. These elevations and terrain features, such as, topography, sinkhole distribution, sinking streams, cave locations, etc. will be used to construct a map of the water table for the uppermost aquifer. If sufficient wells are available, it may be possible to delimit groundwater basin divides.
