Abstract:
An estimation of ground-water recharge for Watershed Management Area 14 (Mullica River). Ground-water recharge is estimated using the NJGS methodology from NJ Geological Survey Report GSR-32 "A Method for Evaluation of Ground-Water-Recharge Areas in New Jersey. Land-use/land-cover, soil and municipality-based climatic data were combined and used to produce an estimate of ground-water recharge in inches/year. Recharge was then ranked by volume (billions of gallons/year) using natural breaks in the percentage of total volume.
Purpose:
To provide maps and digital data to NJGS clients and as required by N.J.S.A. 58:11A, 12-16 et seq.
Supplemental_Information:
The ground-water recharge model is limited to parcels of 1 acre or greater. Largest reliable data resolution is 1:24,000.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
All attributes created during the creation process were verified by displaying the lines in both the database and the spatial coverage, but no formal tests were performed.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
These data are believed to be logically consistent, though no tests were performed. Line geometry is topologically clean.
Completeness_Report:
LULC upon which this is based is complete as of date of completetion of LULC coverages. Changes have occurred in LULC. The boundary of the coverage is dependent on the shoreline and/or edges of rivers and bays as delineated. The edges or borders of the boundary might change as the natural land changes or better maps and aeria photography become available.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The data were created using data from NJ Dept. of Enviromental Protection coverages. The horizontal accuracy is assumed to be within National Map Accuracy Standards

MAPJOIN'd the 19 county ground-water-recharge coverages (COUCMB) into a single statewide ground-water-recharge coverage (NJCMB0). Dropped the county and other extraneous items and DISSOVLE'd it to produce NJCMB1. Polygons of less that one acres were ELIMINATE'd producing NJCMB2 which was RENAME'd to NJCMB.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
Attributes contain recharge in inches/year rounded to 1/100th of an inch (GWR) and nearest inch (INCH) as well as indication of relative ranks (WRANK and SRANK). Ranks also indicate hydric soils, wetlands and open water, and areas where recharge was not calculated due to lack of data. Informational data are included for LULC (MAJOR), soils (SYMBOL, SERIES, HYD), and climate factor(CF). Locational data indicate where each polygon is in terms of municipality.
Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation:
GWR, INCH, LULC are described in GSR-32. Methodology for producing ranks (WRANK & SRANK are included in GSR-32.
Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation:
Soil information (SYMBOL, SERIES, and HYD) are found in one or more of the following sources: NJ County NRCS(SCS) Soil Surveys, SSURGO, and the NJ State NRCS(SCS) soil database.
Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation:
County and municipality information can be found in NJDEP digital data and myriad other non-digital sources.
