Depth to Initial Ground Water in feet, at a 1:500,000-scale

This data was created specifically for use in the Wyoming Ground-water Vulnerability Mapping project. The data represents only depth to INITIAL ground-water and does not reflect potential water quantity or quality issues. The data is also limited to areas within Wyoming in which wells have been recently drilled. This data represents a depiction of the Depth to Initial Ground Water for the state of Wyoming at a 500 meter cell resolution, 1:500000 scale. The data was created by using Kriging to interpolate a smooth surface between known data points obtained from the Wyoming State Engineer's Office well permit records at various years.
