Title: Alluvial Aquifer
Description:
Abstract: This coverage shows the extents of the alluvial aquifers in Kansas. The alluvial aquifers consist of unconsolidated Quaternary alluvium and contiguous terrace deposits. The coverage was developed from 1:500,000-scale information. The data used to construct this coverage are from the state geologic map of Kansas.
Purpose: This coverage was developed as part of a larger project to define the extent, chemical quality, and flow systems within the major aquifers in Kansas. The data presented can be used to delineate the extent of the alluvial aquifers. Such information is valuable in studies focusing on the management of water resources in these aquifers and other hydraulically connected sources of water.

Use_Constraints: Because of the small scale of the coverage and the data source used in its development (1:500,000) it is best to use this coverage for regional scale analysis and not local, site-specific investigations.

Data_Quality_Information:
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Datasets delivered to the Data Access and Support Center are quality assurance tested for major documentation and topological errors using macros. The databases are evaluated based on questions similar to the following:
Does the database's documentation properly explain the dataset? Does the data import properly into its native dataset environment? Is consistent methodology used throughout the data? Are all of the database's fields and values legitimate compared to the documentation? Is the database's topology free of errors that could impair the functionality of the data? Once the data is tested a report is written describing the evaluation. A copy of the report is then forwarded to the data originator for his/her review. If errors are found, the data originator is expected to make any necessary corrections and then provide those corrected coverages. After these steps have been taken data is considered archivable and made available for distribution. Data that is archived by DASC has been tested and corrected.

The boundary was taken from the Geologic Map of Kansas (Ross, 1991; scale 1:500,000). The extent was manually converted into digital information by digitizing directly into ARC/INFO in the Lambert Conformal Conic Projection. The RMSE for this procedure was 0.009 in at the original scale of the map or about 120 m on the ground. The RMSE is close to the suggested National Map Accuracy Standards of the USGS of 0.02 in at the scale of the original map (Nebert, 1989).

The al_extent aat contains two items named ALTITUDE_FEET and CODE and the pat contains an item named DESCRIPTION. The following is a brief description of each item: ALTITUDE_FEET-This item exists strictly to maintain consistency with the other coverages prepared as part of this project. It would normally be an integer representing the elevation in feet above mean sea level of a contour, but this coverage has no contours. CODE-A 3- or 4-digit number that indicates the type of feature represented and the cartographic symbol with which the feature is displayed. DESCRIPTION-This item contains a two to four letter character string which indicates the type of surface geology or surface feature.
