Datasets of altitude of the top of the Dakota Sandstone, top of the Pennsylvanian-age units, and water-level in western Sarpy County, Nebraska

December 19, 2023

This Data Release is comprised of datasets used for the development of a hydrogeologic visualization model for western Sarpy County. Additional documentation on model development can be found in the associated Scientific Investigations Report. In 2016, the Papillion-Missouri River Natural Resources District (PMRNRD) contracted airborne electromagnetic surveys (AEM) of the area to be completed to better understand the stratigraphy and hydrogeology of the western Sarpy County area. The PMRNRD determined that they wanted to incorporate the AEM data into a visualization tool that would allow PMRNRD staff to easily interact with the AEM data and integrate it with other hydrogeologic and groundwater-quality data. The completed Geoscene3D project was assembled to allow Papio-Missouri River Natural Resources District managers to visualize the groundwater systems and associated water-quality results in Sarpy County and enable them to make more informed groundwater resource-planning decisions in the future.
