Description: 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) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.terra>, thin-plate
    splines use methods from 'fields' (Nychka et al. 2021)
    <doi:10.5065/D6W957CT>, and geostatistical interpolation uses methods from
    'gstat' (Pebesma 2004) <doi:10.1016/j.cageo.2004.03.012>.
