			<abstract>These data present a ground-water inventory of existing geospatial data and other information needed to determine the extent and characteristics of the aquifers in the Tahoe Basin. Geospatial and other data include geologic maps and soil surveys of the entire basin and for specific watersheds within the basin at the best available scales; vegetation remote-sensing datasets; well information from various local, state, and federal agencies; geophysical surveys; and results of available ground-water studies. The compilation and development of a ground-water inventory geospatial database will assist the United States Forest Service in better assessing the present and future impacts on ground-water resources within the Lake Tahoe Basin.</abstract>
			<purpose>These data were developed to represent hydrogeologic units within the Lake Tahoe basin in support of the Lake Tahoe ground-water inventory.

The intended uses of this data set include, but are not limited to, natural resource modeling, mapping, and visualization applications.</purpose>
			<supplinf>This dataset is provided as a coutesy by the U.S. Geological Survey.  For updates and explicit information about the dataset see the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Data Mart at http://SoilDataMart.nrcs.usda.gov/</supplinf>
