ABSTRACT:

We used the Water Table Model (WTM) to simulate steady-state water tables at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 21,000 calendar years before present), and in the present day.

This dataset includes two GeoTIFF files (one for each time simulated). These files represent steady-state water table depth, including both groundwater table and lake surfaces. Water table depth is reported in metres relative to the land surface: negative numbers represent groundwater, and positive numbers represent lakes. The WTM does not include ice hydrology, such that lakes atop ice sheets may not be well represented.
