Aquifer Sensitivity - Snake/Salt River Basins (2012)

This dataset represents Aquifer Sensitivity to surface contamination for Wyoming Snake/Salt River Basin at 1:100,000-scale. The purpose of this data layer is to provide citizens of Wyoming with an overview of the relative sensitivity of their surficial aquifers to contaminants applied on or near the land surface. It is intended as a regional planning and educational tool. For further information about this layer which was produced by the Wyoming Ground Water Vulnerability Mapping.
