This map shows specific water-quality items and hydrologic data site
information which come from QWDATA (Water Quality) and GWSI (Ground
Water Information System). Both QWDATA and GWSI are subsystems of
NWIS (National Water Inventory System)of the USGS (United States
Geologic Survey).
This map is for Uintah County, Utah.
The scope and purpose of NWIS is defined on the web site:
http://water.usgs.gov/public/pubs/FS/FS-027-98/
The purpose of this work is to illustrate, specific water-quality data
for Uintah County in the State of Utah and distribute it over the
internet.
QWDATA has an extensive inventory of water-quality samples, however only 16
water-quality parameters are shown.
NWIS has a large number of data sites for each county, however only
those sites which have the requisite water-quality parameters are shown.
This Arc Info coverage is for Uintah County, Utah.
Arc Info 'point' coverages are created and used to make the illustrations.
To make the coverages, data are extracted from the QWDATA subsystem of
the NWIS database.
These data are:
staid Station ID
sname Station name

medim Medium (station type)
72000 Elev LSD, ft NGVD (same as alt_va)

Hydrologic Data Site coverages from GWSI are combined with these data
in order to project the new coverages in decimal degrees. Hydrologic
Data Site coverages were created in decimal degrees.
Items in the Hydrologic Data Site coverages are:
1. lat_va Latitude, dms (degree, minute, second)

12. alt_va Altitude of land surface at the site, ft (same as 72000)

14. hole_depth_va Hole depth drilled total, ft below land surf. datum
15. well_depth_va Well depth, ft below land surface datum (same as 72008)
This is defined as: The greatest depth to which the
well can be sounded.
The coverages are then converted to the form of an Arc export file
represented by a .e00 extension.
Coverage names are in the form: ut_<county name>_qw.e00.
Coverages are in projection: latitude, longitude, decimal degrees.
The USGS Water Resources Division Web Node keeps these files and
distributes them over the web.
Final Arc Info coverage items are:
