Brandt, S. and Steeves, P., 2009, Groundwater contributing areas for Cape Cod and the Plymouth-Carver Regions of Massachusetts: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9NPHMZX.

Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. This data layer contains groundwater contributing areas for streams, ponds and estuaries in the Cape Cod and the Plymouth-Carver region. Contributing areas were delineated by using regional groundwater-flow models. The percent impervious cover of each contributing area was calculated by using a statewide 1-m resolution binary rater data layer of impervious surface in2005. This is one of three data layers in this data series publication.

Purpose

This data layer was created in cooperation with the Evironmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assist local communities in environmental planning and stormwater run off studies. The purpose of this data layer is to provide basin boundaries and impervious surface data at a more discretized scale than is available with current Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) subdivisions.
