			<abstract>Individual county first water contour datasets represent the elevation of the first water (water table) in 10-foot intervals across the landscape.  Each first water contour dataset was created using the contour function in ArcGIS Spatial Analyst, version 8.3.</abstract>
			<purpose>This dataset is intended to give a general overview of the first water (water table) elevation for the purposes of groundwater management.</purpose>
			<supplinf>Contours were generated from a generalized first water grid for the purpose of creating smoother contours.</supplinf>

			<attraccr>The accuracy of the contours were not tested for accuracy, except by visual inspection.  Furthermore, for the purpose of creating smoother contours and removing extraneous data, contours were created from a generalized first water surface.  This resulted in less precise, but more readable, contour data.</attraccr>

		<logic>The water table contours dataset varies in consistency due to the inconsistincies in the data used during processing of the first water (water table) surface.</logic>
		<complete>All county files have been inspected for competeness to ensure that there is no missing information and that the data extend out to a 90-meter buffer around the county.</complete>

			<horizpa>
				<horizpar>The majority of the input data meets 1:24,000 NMAS.  In some counties, National Wetland Inventory data were used, which were photointerpreted from unrectified 1:58,000 scale aerial photography.  </horizpar>
