Description:
Abstract:
A qualitative representation of the potential for aquifer recharge for New Jersey Watershed Management Area 15 (Great Egg Harbor Watersheds), built upon the combination of ground-water recharge value rankings and well-yield-based aquifer rankings.
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.

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:
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 aerial photography become available. All polygons have been generalized to 1 acre or greater. Edge mismatches between the various coverages used to produce this coverage were dealt with by maintaining the boundaries of the municipal boundary coverage by using the identity command in Arc/Info. Available aquifer coverage was generalized to 1:250,000. Original coverage was compiled using 1:24,000, 1:48,000, and 1:100,000 data. Due to the fuzzy nature of the data being mapped, and this being the best available data, it was decided to utilize this coverage.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The data were created using data from NJ Dept. of Environmental Protection coverages. The horizontal accuracy is assumed to be within National Map Accuracy Standards
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The data were created using data from NJ Dept. of Environmental Protection coverages. The vertical accuracy is assumed to be within National Map Accuracy Standards

Process_Description:
Dissolved the watershed management area ground-water recharge coverage (CMB) to produce the watershed management area ground-water-recharge rank coverage (GWR) then intersected it with the AQRNK coverage to produce aquifer recharge potential coverage (AQRP). Aquifer recharge potential ranks were then calculated using the combination of the aquifer rank letters and the GWR rank letters creating both alphabetic and numeric rank attributes. Both aquifer recharge and ground-water recharge rank attributes are preserved.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
The attributes are the aquifer abbreviation (hydroabb) which is a two to five letter NJGS aquifer designation. Ground-water recharge rank (gwrnk) from the ground-water recharge coverage, and aquifer rank (aqrnk), alphabetic rank designation based on gw recharge inches/year and aquifer well yields in gallons/minute. These are combined to produce an alphabetic and a numeric aquifer-recharge potential rank in the following manner: aquifer rank: ground-water-recharge rank: (for example: AA or 11, BC or 23, DA or 41). This ranking reflects the independence of two processes. The amount of ground-water recharge that becomes aquifer recharge is controlled by the transmissivity of the underlying aquifer.
