This data release shows the digital hydrogeologic datasets were developed for the eight study areas in upstate New York in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. These datasets define the hydrogeologic framework of the valley-fill aquifer and surrounding till-covered uplands within the four study areas. Also included within are the input data that was necessary to create and interpolate the hydrogeologic framework. The input data is provided as point feature classes, and previously published report georeferenced files along with the digitized data as line or polygon feature classes.
The data release is broken into eight child item pages; one for each model area. Each child item contains the data pertaining to that study area.
In addition to shapefiles, feature classes were provided for convenience to some users. These feature class datasets were not explicitly outlined in the data release and may have subtle differences to shapefiles due to inherent differences in file types (i.e. character limitations in shapefiles vs feature class files).
Understanding and interpreting the geologic framework from numerous data sources, which provided the necessary foundation for the development of four groundwater flow models used in the delineation of contributing areas to select production wells screened in the valley-fill aquifers (Friesz and others, 2022 and Corson-Dosch and others, 2022). The data provided for the additional four study areas can be used for future groundwater flow models. Incorporating the previously published digitized data into this data release brings old paper reports into the digital era so that the data within them can be used for various purposes including numerical groundwater modeling.

Values were quality checked multiple ways, including outlier detection and physical examination of the data.
Logical accuracy tests were conducted for each individual dataset.
Dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details.
No formal positional accuracy tests were conducted
Values were quality checked multiple ways, including outlier detection and physical examination of the data.
