title: 'potentiomap: Build Potentiometric Surfaces and Hydraulic-Gradient Arrows'
version: 0.2.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.potentiomap
abstract: Prepares groundwater-level observations from measured hydraulic head or
  from depth-to-water and land-surface elevation, interpolates potentiometric surfaces
  using thin-plate splines, inverse-distance weighting, ordinary Kriging, universal
  Kriging, or user-supplied methods, and creates raster, contour, diagnostic, support,
  and hydraulic-gradient products for review and export. Functions retain method conditions
  and fit diagnostics, validate explicit prediction tasks, inspect model-conditional
  uncertainty and monitoring-network sensitivity, identify limited prediction support,
  and check whether scaled hydraulic-gradient arrows remain within finite raster support
  and end at lower modeled head. Raster processing uses methods from 'terra' (Hijmans
  2025) <https://doi.org/10.32614/CRAN.package.terra>, thin-plate splines use methods
  from 'fields' (Nychka et al. 2021) <https://doi.org/10.5065/D6W957CT>, and geostatistical
  interpolation uses methods from 'gstat' (Pebesma 2004) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cageo.2004.03.012>.
