Switzerlan d County is loc ated in southeast In dia n a, an d is b oun ded b y the counties of Jefferson, Ripley an d Ohio to the west, northwest an d north, respectively. The state of Kentuc ky b orders the county to the south an d east. The en tire county lies within the Ohio River Basin . The potentiom etric surfac e is a m easure of the pressure on groun dwater in a water b earin g form ation. Wells are com pleted in aquifers at various depths, an d typic ally, un der con fin ed con ditions (b oun ded b y im perm ea b le layers ab ove a n d b elow the water b earin g form ation). However, som e wells are com pleted un der un con fin ed (not b oun ded b y im perm ea b le layers) settin gs. Water in a con fin ed aquifer, whic h is un der hydrostatic pressure, will rise in a well ab ove the top of the water b earin g form ation. In contrast, groun dwater in an un con fin ed aquifer, whic h is at atm ospheric pressure, will not rise in a well ab ove the top of the water b earin g form ation. Static water-level m easurem en ts ob tain ed from in dividual wells used to construct county potentiom etric surfac e m aps are in dic ative of the water-level at the tim e of well com pletion. The groun dwater level within an aquifer constan tly fluctuates in response to rain fall, evapotran spiration, groun dwater m ovem en t an d pum page. Therefore, m easured static water-levels in an area m ay differ due to loc al or season al variations. Bec ause fluctuations in groun dwater are typic ally sm all, static water-levels c an b e used to construct a gen eralized potentiom etric surfac e m ap. As a gen eral rule, b ut certain ly n ot always, groun dwater flow approxim ates the overlyin g topography an d in tersects the lan d surfac e at m ajor stream s. The potentiom etric surfac e m ap of the un consolidated aquifers was m apped b y contourin g the elevations of 67 static water-levels reported on well records rec eived prim arily over a 50 year period. U n iversal Tran sverse M erc ator (U TM ) coordin ates, used in loc atin g the water wells, were either physic ally ob tain ed in the field, determ in ed through address geocodin g, or reported on water well records. The loc ation of the m ajority of the water well records used to m ake the potentiom etric surfac e m aps were field verified. Elevation data were ob tain ed from a digital elevation m odel. Quality control/quality assuran c e procedures were utilized to refin e or rem ove data where errors were readily apparen t. The m apped potentiom etric surfac e contours are prim arily for the upper 100 feet of the un consolidated m aterials an d utilize data for wells 100 feet or less in depth. If the shallow data was sparse or un availa b le in an area, wells greater than 100 feet in depth were used to com plem en t the m appin g. Potentiom etric surfac e elevations ran ge from a high of 460 feet m ean sea level (m sl) in the eastern side of the county n ear Patriot alon g the Ohio River, to a low of 420 feet m sl in the southwest an d south-c en tral sections alon g the Ohio River. Region al groun dwater flow direction within the coun ty is gen erally south towards the Ohio River. Potentiom etric contours are not exten ded through areas of the county where data is lac kin g an d/or un consolidated deposits are thin or unproductive. The county potentiom etric surfac e m aps c an b e used to defin e the region al groun dwater flow path an d to iden tify sign ific a n t areas of groun dwater rec harge an d disc harge. These m aps represen t overall region al c haracteristics an d are not inten ded to b e a sub stitute for site-spec ific studies.
