Data used to model and map lithium concentrations in groundwater used as drinking water for the conterminous United States

This data release contains data used to develop models and maps that estimate the occurrence of lithium in groundwater used as drinking water throughout the conterminous United States. An extreme gradient boosting model was developed to estimate the most probable lithium concentration category (≤4, >4 to ≤10, >10 to ≤30 or >30 µg/L). The model uses lithium concentration data from wells located throughout the conterminous United States and predictor variables that are available as geospatial data. The model is included in this data release in the zipped folder named Model_Archive and was used to produce maps that are also included in this data release. The model input data (predictor variables) that were used to make the maps are within a zipped folder (Map_Input_Data.zip) that contains 20 tif-raster files, one for each model predictor variable. The map probability estimates that are outputs from the model are in a zipped folder (Map_Output_Data.zip) that contains 10 tif-raster files, two model estimate maps for each of the lithium concentration categories and the category with the highest probability for public supply well depths and domestic supply well depths.
