Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>The dataset is a feature class showing the boundaries of 515 groundwater basins and subbasins as defined by the California Department of Water Resources as last modified by the Basin Boundary Emergency Regulation adopted on October 21, 2015 and subsequent modifications requested through the Basin Boundary Modification Request Process. The file is in ESRI geodatabase format and is intended for use with compatible GIS software. Groundwater basins are represented as polygon features and designated on the basis of geological and hydrological conditions - usually the occurrence of alluvial or unconsolidated deposits. When practical, large basins are also subdivided by political boundaries, as in the Central Valley. Basins are named and numbered per the convention of the Department of Water Resources. The associated data are considered DWR enterprise GIS data, which meet all appropriate requirements of the DWR GIS Spatial Data Standards. DWR makes no warranties or guarantees, either expressed or implied, as to the completeness, accuracy or correctness of the data, nor accepts or assumes any liability arising from or for any incorrect, incomplete or misleading subject data. The official DWR GIS Data Steward for this dataset is Brett Wyckoff, who may be contacted at 916-902-6779, or at brett.wyckoff@water.ca.gov. Comments, problems, improvements, updates, or suggestions should be forwarded to the official GIS Data Steward as available and appropriate.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV>
Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN><SPAN>This dataset is one of several available datasets related to California counties that were created as a group designed to work in topological sync with each other. Further details about these paired datasets can be found in their respective metadata. Further details about the full process and update notes can be found in the GDB container metadata.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;">This specific dataset </SPAN><SPAN>represents the basic (ie simplified) county dataset without the extra coding that can be found in the "full" dataset. In this dataset, all bays (plus bay islands and constructed features) are merged into the mainland, and coastal features (such as islands and constructed features) are not included, with the exception of the Channel Islands which ARE included. This dataset is the same as the cnty_basic, except for the addition of the Channel Islands. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
