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 represents the extent of the Snake River Plain aquifer system, which includes both the basaltic and basin-fill aquifers. This dataset does not represent the full extent of the basaltic and basin-fill aquifers aquifers. This data set represents the extent of the surficial aquifer within the Snake River aquifer system. This aquifer system is primarily located in Idaho.
