Purpose

These data were combined into geodatabases to be part of the Saline Groundwater Assessment Program datasets, collected under the auspices of the Office of Groundwater to be used to investigate the locations of usable inland brackish and saline groundwater across the United States. The National Water-Quality Assessment Project (NAWQA) also assisted with support, which enabled the data to be published in the USGS National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) Node archive, and therefore available for use by the public.
