Tip p e canoe County is locate d in the northwest se ction of Ind iana and is b ound e d b y the counties of Be nton, W hite, Carroll, Clinton,M ontgom ery, Fountain, and W arren. The m ajority of the c e ntral and western p ortion of the county is situate d within the M id d leW ab ash River Basin, with the re m aining areas to the east, and a sm all se ction in the northwest, locate d in the U p p er W ab ash RiverBasin.The p ote ntiom etric surface is a m easure of the p ressure on ground water in a water b earing form ation. W e lls are com p lete d inaquifers at various d e p ths, and typ ically, und er confine d cond itions (b ound e d b y im p erm eab le layers ab ove and b e low the waterb earing form ation). However, som e we lls are com p lete d und er unconfine d (not b ound e d b y im p erm eab le layers) settings. W ater ina confine d aquifer, which is und er hyd rostatic pressure, will rise in a we ll ab ove the top of the water b earing form ation in contrast toground water in an unconfine d aquifer, which is at atm osp heric pressure and will not rise in a we ll ab ove the top of the water b earingform ation.Static water-leve l m easurem e nts ob taine d from ind ivid ual we lls use d to construct county Pote ntiom etric Surface M aps (PSM ) areind icative of the water-leve l at the tim e of we ll com p letion. The ground water leve l within an aquifer constantly fluctuates inresp onse to rainfall, evap otransp iration, ground water m ove m e nt and pum p age. There fore, m easure d static water-leve ls in an aream ay d iffer d ue to local or seasonal variations. Be cause fluctuations in ground water are typ ically sm all, static water-leve ls can b euse d to construct a ge neralize d PSM . As a ge neral rule, b ut certainly not always, ground water flow ap p roxim ates the overlyingtop ograp hy and interse cts the land surface at m ajor stream s.The p ote ntiom etric surface m ap of the b e d rock aquifers was m ap p e d b y contouring the e levations of 277 static water-leve ls re p orte don we ll re cord s re ce ive d prim arily over a 50 year p eriod . U niversal Transverse M ercator (U TM ) coord inates, use d in locating thewater we lls, were e ither p hysically ob taine d in the fie ld , d eterm ine d through ad d ress ge ocod ing, or re p orte d on water we ll re cord s.The location of the m ajority of the water we ll re cord s use d to m ake the PSM were fie ld verifie d . Elevation d ata were ob taine d froma d igital e levation m od e l. Quality control/quality assurance proce d ures were utilize d to refine or re m ove d ata where errors wereread ily ap p are nt.Pote ntiom etric surface e levations range from a high of 760 fe et m ean sea leve l (m sl) in the south-ce ntral se ction of the county, to alow of 490 fe et m sl in the west-ce ntral p ortion. Ground water flow d ire ction within the m ajority of the county is ge nerally toward sthe W ab ash River and its m ajor trib utaries. Pote ntiom etric contours have not b e e n exte nd e d through p ortions of the county that arelacking in d ata and /or covere d b y m ore prolific unconsolid ate d d e p osits which lim its the ne c essity to com p lete we lls in the b e d rock.The county PSM can b e use d to d e fine the re gional ground water flow path and to id e ntify significant areas of ground water re chargeand d ischarge. County PSM ’s re p rese nt overall regional characteristics and are not inte nd e d to b e a sub stitute for site-sp e cificstud ies.
