Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the alluvial and terrace deposits along the North Canadian River from Oklahoma City to Eufaula Lake in east-central Oklahoma
This data set consists of digital polygons of a constant
hydraulic conductivity value for the alluvial and terrace
deposits along the North Canadian River from Oklahoma City to
Eufaula Lake in east-central Oklahoma. Ground water in 710
square miles of Quaternary-age alluvial and terrace deposits
along the North Canadian River is an important source of water
for irrigation, industrial, municipal, stock, and domestic
supplies. The aquifer, composed of alluvial and terrace
deposits, consists of sand, silt, clay, and gravel. The aquifer
is underlain and in hydraulic connection with the upper zone of
the Permian-age Garber-Wellington aquifer and the
Pennsylvanian-age Ada-Vamoosa aquifer.
Some of the polygon boundaries were digitized from a published
ground-water modeling report about the aquifer and some lines
were extracted from published digital geology data sets. The
constant hydraulic conductivity value for the aquifer was
estimated as 310 feet per day in the published ground-water
modeling report.
Ground-water flow models are numerical representations that
simplify and aggregate natural systems. Models are not unique;
different combinations of aquifer characteristics may produce
similar results. Therefore, values of hydraulic conductivity
used in the model and presented in this data set are not
precise, but are within a reasonable range when compared to
independently collected data.
