Wolfcamp Aquifer Data

Description

Piezometric head measurements taken at the Wolfcamp Aquifer, Texas, USA. See Cressie (1993, p.212–214) for description of the scientific problem and the data. Original data were converted to SI units: coordinates are given in kilometers and pressure heads to meters.

Usage
