SERIES: 26772
TITLE: Shallow ground water records
DATES: 1993-2021.
ARRANGEMENT: Grouped by file type, thereunder chronological.

DESCRIPTION: This dataset represents the depth to groundwater in Utah, defined by areas. Original manuscript maps were provided by the Utah Geological Survey (UGS) and digitized by AGRC. The final data products were verified and approved by the UGS.

These geospatial records contain information on earth sciences, including geographic place names (GNIS), land ownership annotation, geologic resources, surface geology features, geologic hazards, and soil types. GNIS records the names of such features as parks, golf courses, open space, wild life refuges, federal and state lands, military reservations, and tribal lands. Geologic resource records contain information on energy resources, including oil, natural gas, coal, gas hydrates, and geothermal resources. Geologic surface records contain information on the geologic surface features located in Utah. Surficial (surface) geology maps provide data on the types of material and landforms found at the surface of the earth. Geologic hazard records contain information on the natural geologic events that can endanger human lives and threaten human property. Earthquakes, floods, landslides, radon gas, and dam failure maps are included. Soil records contain information on the types of soil found in Utah. This is generally the most detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. The information was prepared by digitizing maps, compiling information onto a planimetric correct base and digitizing or revising digitized maps using remotely sensed and other information.
