Title: Groundwater Vulnerability
Originators: Idaho Department of Water Resources
Publisher: Idaho Department of Water Resources
Publication place: Boise, ID
Publication date: June 195
Data type: vector digital data
A characterization of the data, including its intended use and limitations.
Abstract:
Groundwater vulnerability highlights areas sensitive to groundwater contamination in a generalized way. The map (data) should be used for regional interpretive purposes only, and should not be used for making site-specific decisions. This data does not show areas what will be contaminated, or areas that cannot be contaminated. It also does not show if a particular area has already been contaminated. Whether the areas will have groundwater contamination depends upon the likelihood, type, frequency, and volume of contaminant release. This map only considers the ability of water to move from the land surface to the water table and does not consider the individual characteristics of the specific contaminants.
Purpose:
Snake River Plain and Intermountain Valleys
