Geodatabase for the Hydrogeologic Atlas of Southwest Travis County, Central Texas

The Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conservation District (BSEACD), in cooperation with Travis County, compiled existing and new hydrogeologic data to evaluate groundwater resources in southwestern Travis County (SWTC). Analysis and interpretation of these data provide the foundation for hydrogeologic evaluations presented in the Hydrogeologic Atlas of Southwest Travis County, Central Texas (Hunt et al., 2020), which refines the area’s hydrogeologic framework and conceptual model, establishes current aquifer conditions, and estimates groundwater use in SWTC. Authors of the Atlas created a geodatabase to provide a single repository for the source data of the study. The geodatabase may help provide baseline data for future groundwater studies of the region. An accompanying report (Cockrell et al., 2020) describes the development of the geodatabase, documents data sources, and describes the data analyses performed.
