Purpose

This data set was created as part of a U.S. Geological Survey study, done in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to provide a baseline hydroclimatological framework from which ecological zones will be delineated and characterized. The intended uses of this database include, but are not limited to, natural resource modeling, mapping, and visualization applications.
