NAWQA boundary coverages

National coverages of cycle I and cycle II NAWQA study units are available in two resolutions:

The coverages are used mainly for national applications. We maintain the national NAWQA study unit boundaries (excluding the High Plains Regional Ground Water Study) and the High Plains Regional Ground Water Study as separate coverages. Cook and Oahu also are stored separately from the lower 48 study units.

Please process any changes in study unit boundaries through the appropriate channels and then submit the changes to Naomi Nakagaki or Kerie Hitt.
