This analysis of WRS site PSD data was completed using the following spreadsheet tool: HydrogeoSieveXL V2.2, developed by J.F. Devlin, University of Kansas, Developed April 29, 2014, most recent update September, 2016 This program is electronic supplementary material for the article: Devlin, J.F. 2015.
