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 set consists of 1:1,000,000-scale areas where shallow ground water is consumed by evapotranspiration (ET) in the Great Basin. The source of this data set is sheet 2 of a 1988 U.S. Geological Survey hydrologic investigations atlas map (Harrill and others, 1988.)
