Data for improved understanding of the susceptibility of Lake Superior to threats from groundwater contamination

This data release contains a data compilation and analysis of the hydrogeology in the U.S. portion of the Lake Superior watershed, for the purpose of providing background data for future study and modeling of groundwater and contaminant movement in the watershed. The data support an analysis of groundwater contributions to the water budget of Lake Superior and provide hydrogeologic context for future modeling and sampling of groundwater in the region. The data release contains three child items: Baseflow analysis for tributaries to Lake Superior from 1946 to 2020; Geohydrology data for groundwater analysis in the Lake Superior Watershed; and Groundwater wells from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan state databases and the U.S. Geological (USGS) National Water Information System (NWIS) database with static water level data within 10km of the Lake Superior watershed.
