Purpose

This dataset was created for the Black Hills Hydrology Study (BHHS). The BHHS is a long-term investigation that was initiated in 1990 as a cooperative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), and the West Dakota Water Development District. West Dakota represents various local and county cooperators. The purpose of the study was to assess the quantity, quality, and distribution of surface and ground water in the Black Hills area of South Dakota (Driscoll, 1992). The study area includes parts of Butte, Custer, Fall River, Lawrence, Meade, and Pennington Counties in South Dakota. Data in Weston and Crook Counties in Wyoming also were included.
