  2. Title: Principal Aquifers of the 48 Conterminous United States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands

    • Polygon data
    • 2003
    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile contains the shallowest principal aquifers of the conterminous United States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, portrayed as polygons. The map layer was developed as part of the effort to produce the maps published at 1:2,500,000 in the printed series "Ground Water Atlas of the United States". The published maps contain base and cultural features not included in these data. This is a replacement for the July 1998 map layer called Principal Aquifers of the 48 Conterminous United States. This map layer was created and modified over a period of at least five years by several staff members of the U.S. Geological Survey Water Resources Discipline, Cartographic and Publications Program in Madison, Wisconsin. Completion of this map layer and associated metadata was funded, in part, under a cooperative joint funding agreement between the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This layer is part of the 1997-2014 edition National Atlas of the United States. These data are intended for use in publications, at a scale of 1:2,500,000 or smaller. Due to the small scale, the primary intended use is for regional and national data display and analysis, rather than specific local data analysis. U.S. Geological Survey (2003) The National Atlas of the United States: Principal Aquifers of the 48 Conterminous United States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. USGS. Available at: http://purl.stanford.edu/xy784hh2894. The Ground Water Atlas of the United States (GWA) chapters include additional information that may be relevant to the use of this map layer, such as maps of alluvial and glacial aquifers that overlie the aquifers in this map layer, as well as other information described below. The areal extent of the aquifers, as shown in this map layer, represents the area in which a named aquifer is the shallowest of the principal aquifers. These aquifer areas are not necessarily the only areas in which ground water can be withdrawn, for two reasons: 1) The aquifers shown may have a larger areal extent than is represented here. The boundaries in this map layer generally represent an interpretation of the surface location (outcrop), or near-surface location (shallow subcrop) of the uppermost principal aquifer for the area. An aquifer may extend beyond the area shown, but be overlain by one or more other aquifers, and (or) low-permeability material. 2) There may be areas of water-bearing surficial material not shown in this map layer. Major alluvial aquifers that occur along main watercourses are not shown. Significant unconsolidated sand and gravel aquifers, that are not indicated in this map layer but are important sources of water, may occur locally in glaciated regions. The user of this map layer is advised that to get complete information regarding areas that serve as sources of water, more information about surficial aquifers needs to be obtained, particularly in glaciated areas. This map layer was constructed by combining data created for or from the regional GWA chapters. Minor aquifers that are important local sources of water were mapped in some regions, so the regional maps in the GWA may show more detail than this map layer. The data were reviewed, adjusted, and published based on new information provided by national, State, and local scientists. The juxtaposition of regionally mapped aquifers has led to some instances where an aquifer outcrop or shallow subcrop is bounded by a State line. This is a result of the regional mapping and national categorization methods used and is not meant to imply a hydrogeologic change coincident with a State boundary. The aquifer outcrop and shallow subcrop boundaries represent broad, regional categories and should not be interpreted as site-specific. Comments regarding the names of aquifers or the hydrogeologic interpretation of the aquifers can be directed to the U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division, Office of Ground Water, ogw_webmaster@usgs.gov. This map layer was used as part of the effort to publish a 1:5,000,000- scale 'Principal Aquifers' map in the National Atlas of the United States of America series of printed maps. The printed map can be considered a representation of this map layer with the exceptions of: the smaller scale, slight differences in the coastline due to generalization, base and cultural information, and delineation of the glacial-deposit area. These data were developed in conjunction with the publication of the GWA. For documentation purposes, areas are referred to by their corresponding GWA chapter letter, or by State. This list shows the relationship between State names and GWA chapters: >HA 730-B Segment 1-California, Nevada >HA 730-C Segment 2-Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona >HA 730-D Segment 3-Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska >HA 730-E Segment 4-Texas, Oklahoma >HA 730-F Segment 5-Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi >HA 730-G Segment 6-Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina >HA 730-H Segment 7-Idaho, Oregon, Washington >HA 730-I Segment 8-Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming >HA 730-J Segment 9-Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin >HA 730-K Segment 10-Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee >HA 730-L Segment 11-Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, North > Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West > Virginia >HA 730-M Segment 12-Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New > Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont >HA 730-N Segment 13-Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. > Virgin Islands Refer to <http://capp.water.usgs.gov/gwa/gwa.html> for a graphic depiction of the GWA chapter regions, as well as more information about the GWA. It may be helpful to refer to the printed GWA chapters when using the Data, however, there are significant differences between this national map layer and the printed chapters. Because the GWA regional chapters were written by different authors, there were areas of different interpretations and category delineations, aquifer names, etc., that became apparent when combining the regions. The following listings show the differences between aquifer names in the GWA chapters and the aq_name and aq_code used in this map layer.

    Summary: This point shapefile depicts centroid locations of 1000 foot interval Creek Stations representing dynamic segmentation measures that group data according to specific conditions for the County of Santa Clara, California. They were created for the route system called creeks01_route (PolylineM shapefile and scvwd_hydro.mdb Personal Geodatabase). Dynamic segmentation, or linear referencing, is the process of computing map locations of linearly referenced data (for example, attributes stored in a table) at run time so they can be displayed on a map, queried, and analyzed using a GIS. The dynamic segmentation process enables multiple sets of attributes to be associated with any portion of a line feature without segmenting the underlying feature.

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polyline shapefile depicts centerlines for the Santa Clara and Llagas groundwater subbasins confinend boundary in the County of Santa Clara, California. These boundaries outline the portions of subbasins that contain confined aquifers. An aquifer that is bounded above and below by formations of distinctly lower permeability than that of the aquifer itself potentially resulting in the aquifer being confined under pressure greater than atmospheric pressure. If such a confined aquifer is tapped by a well, water will rise above the top of the aquifer and may even flow from the well onto the land surface. Water confined in this way is said to be under artesian pressure, and the aquifer is called an artesian aquifer.The Santa Clara Valley Water District manages an integrated water resources system that includes the supply of clean, safe water, flood protection and stewardship of streams on behalf of Santa Clara County's 1.8 million residents. This layer is part of a collection of GIS data for Santa Clara County, California.

California Department of Water Resources Bulleting 7 indicated that the delineation of confined (pressure zone) and the recharge area (unconfined zone) in Santa Clara County were primarily geologic, hydrogeologic, water level conditions, etc. (1). Geologic approach: The presences of blue clay as capping strata in a number of well logs were used as a criterion to delineate the pressure zone boundaries. (2). Hydrologic approach: The characteristics exhibited by unconfined and confined areas under different conditions of stress were utilized for differentiating between pressure and free groundwater bodies. (3.) A water level contour showing lines of equal change in groundwater elevation for the period of summer and fall 1949 indicated a positive changes in levels of confined groundwater and negative changes in the free groundwater zones.

    Summary: This polygon shapefile depicts boundaries of Stormwater Runoff Catchments for outfalls greater than or equal to 18 inches in diameter, in the County of Santa Clara, California. The original Hydrograph Modification Program (HMP) data set was completed in 2003. This update is based on data collected in 2004 and 2005. New data include field observations, newly acquired storm drainage maps and reinterpretation of existing data. The catchment areas (sq. ft), area per land-cover type and associated percent impervious were calculated for each catchment and added to the attribute table. Catchments were updated based on Creek and Watershed Maps of the greater Santa Clara Valley, as well as the most up to date storm drain maps available at the time of this revision. Catchment areas, land cover and percent impervious were derived by GIS analysis of remotely-sensed land cover data (3 foot grid cell resolution), acquired in the summer of 2002 by Space Imaging Corporation.
