Polygons delineate generalized areas in and around Great Basin National Park where surface-water
resources likely or potentially are susceptible to groundwater withdrawals in adjacent valleys.
This data set was created as part of a U.S. Geological Survey study, done in cooperation with the
National Park Service, to characterize surface-water resources in and around Great Basin National
Park. The intended uses of this data set include, but are not limited to, natural resource modeling,
mapping, and visualization applications.
Areas were determined by collecting synoptic-discharge, specific-conductance, and water- and
air-temperature measurements along selected stream reaches. Comparison of streamflow and
water-property data to the geology along each stream indicated areas where surface-water
resources likely or potentially would be susceptible to ground-water withdrawals. These areas
consist of reaches where streams
(1) are in contact with permeable rocks or sediments, or
(2) receive water from either spring discharge or ground-water inflow. (Elliott and others, 2006)

The logical consistency topologically is clean. Polygon topology is present. Using ArcGIS topology tools and routines, all polygons were checked for closure, gaps, overlaps, sliver polygons, and duplicate features.
Complete for Great Basin National Park as represented in SIR 2006-5099.
A digital image of the source plate was georeferenced using ArcGIS tools resulting in a Root Mean Square (RMS) error of less than one meter. No absolute scale was provided on the source plate. Based on calculations from the scale-bar, the source was published at approximately a 1:210,000 scale. The geology base layer was modified from a 1:250,000-scale source. National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy published by the Federal Geographic Data Committee in 1998 indicate a 145-meter expected error for a 1:250,000-scale map.
The horizontal positional accuracy was verified using visual and manual comparison as described in the horizontal positional accuracy report and the process steps. Taking all known and unknown sources of error into consideration, the horizontal positional error is deductively estimated at 150 meters.

Polygons were digitized from the source on-screen. The Smooth Polygon tool with Bezier Interpolation algorithm was applied. Further hand edits were done for topology and smoothing purposes. Attributes for susceptibility were added based on plate explanation.
