摘要：Williams County, Ohio, is underlain by a productive, unconsolidated ground-water aquifer system. Historically, it was assumed that the till at the surface was impermeable and that at least half of the aquifers' recharge came from Michigan and Indiana. Recent calibrated groundwater studies (including models) demonstrate that the sand and gravel aquifers recharge locally. This recent discovery has resulted in local activities to protect the documented currently excellent ground water quality. Bryan Municipal Utilities has taken the lead in a locally- and state-based cooperative effort to develop ground water protection strategies, including watershed protection efforts, the creation of a DRASTIC map for Williams County and the petition for a US Environmental Protection Agency Sole Source Aquifer designation. A fully integrated GIS-based DRASTIC map has been completed for Williams County, incorporating numerical modifications to acknowledge the fractured nature of the local soils and glacial deposits. The proposed Sole Source Aquifer delineation boundary identification process included collection of watershed maps for Michigan and Indiana. Utilizing these data sources, a GIS-based, proposed Sole Source Aquifer map for Fulton, Williams and Defiance counties in Ohio and portions of the St. Joseph watershed in Michigan and Indiana has been developed. The new GIS-based maps are presented along with their web-linked addresses. Efforts are currently underway to encourage local governmental support to accompany the petition documentation being developed for the USEPA Region V in Chicago. The full application should be submitted within the next two years.

Williams County, Ohio, is underlain by a productive, unconsolidated ground-water aquifer system.
