Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the alluvial and terrace deposits along the North Canadian River from Canton Lake to Lake Overholser in 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 Canton Lake to Lake
Overholser in central Oklahoma. Ground water in approximately
400 square miles of Quaternary-age alluvial and terrace aquifer
is an important source of water for irrigation, industrial,
municipal, stock, and domestic supplies. The aquifer consists
of clay, silt, sand, and gravel. Sand-sized sediments dominate
the poorly sorted, fine to coarse, unconsolidated quartz grains
in the aquifer. The hydraulically connected alluvial and terrace
deposits unconformably overlie Permian-age formations. The
aquifer is overlain by a layer of wind-blown sand in parts of
the area.
A uniform hydraulic-conductivity value of 38.9 feet per day was
used as input to the ground-water flow model for the aquifer and
is used in this data set.
The features representing boundaries along geological contacts
were extracted from published digital surficial geology data
sets based on a scale of 1:250,000. The northwest and southeast
geographic limits of the aquifer and were digitized from a
folded paper map in a ground-water modeling report, at a scale
of 1:250,000
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.
