Online_Linkage: http://igs.indiana.edu/arcims/statewide/download.html Description: Abstract: Five types of unconsolidated aquifers in 12 water-management basins identified by the Indiana Natural Resources Commission (INRC) in Indiana were identified by the USGS in U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 92-4142 (Fenelon and others, 1994). The source scale of the maps depicting aquifers was 1:500,000. Aquifer maps are based on information from hydrogeologic sections and from previous studies. Attributes were compiled from tabular information contained in Fenelon and others (1994). Information contained in the report was used to identify mapped rock units within aquifer systems and distribute the aquifer characteristics to those polygons. Purpose: These data are intended for use at a scale of 1:500,000 or smaller. Owing to the small scale and sparseness of data used for the aquifer-systems mapping, the primary intended use is for regional data display and analysis, rather than specific local or site-specific data analysis. Supplemental_Information: The following is excerpted from Fenelon and others (1994, page 1): "Unconsolidated aquifers are the most widely used aquifers in Indiana. Types of unconsolidated aquifers include surficial, buried, and discontinuous layers of sand and gravel. Most of the surficial sand and gravel is located in large outwash plains in northern Indiana and along the major rivers in the southern two-thirds of the State. Buried sand and gravel aquifers underlie much of the northern two-thirds of Indiana, where they are typically interbedded with till deposits and can be 10 to 400 ft deep. Discontinuous sand and gravel deposits are present as isolated lenses, primarily in glaciated areas." A LYR (Aquifers_unconsolidated_USGS_IN.lyr) file accompanies this data layer to assist the user with symbolization so that the vertical sequence of aquifer systems can be visualized in geographic information system (GIS) software, particularly ESRI software products.

The accuracy of these attributes is not known. The accuracy of the reported aquifer characteristics is not intended to represent site-specific conditions, but to identify types of aquifers and typical extents of rock units likely to contain and produce ground water. The thickness ranges and potential aquifer yield ranges are estimates of regional aquifer characteristics. Logical_Consistency_Report: Checks for sliver polygons were conducted and resolved by attributing the slivers with the "Aquifer_Type" value of the adjacent polygon in the same "Basin" and dissolving the boundaries. No topological checks were conducted on this data set. The shapefile represents a vertical distribution of aquifers, and the polygon boundaries overlap. In places with overlapping aquifer system polygons, more than one potential aquifer exists. Completeness_Report: Layer includes statewide data of unconsolidated aquifers including aquifer type, local names, thickness, and potential aquifer yield as presented in the USGS publication Hydrogeologic atlas of aquifers in Indiana (Fenelon and others, 1994). Where a type of aquifer was less than 15 square miles in areal extent, it was not mapped because of scale limitations. Buried unconsolidated valleys were mapped where productive aquifers are within them. "Buried aquifer" indicates that the sand and gravel is covered by 10 ft or more of nonaquifer material and that the deposits are continuous in at least one direction for several miles or more. "Discontinuous aquifer" refers to lenses of sand and gravel that are not laterally extensive. "Surficial aquifer" indicates that the aquifer is covered by less than 10 ft of nonaquifer material. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The source publication (Fenelon, 1994) reports no information on horizontal accuracy of the original 1:500,000 mapping. Horizontal accuracy is largely contingent upon accuracy of the source publication. ESRI ArcGIS was used to georeference vector data using county boundaries. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Vertical accuracy was not a factor in the digital production of the data set.

IGS personnel exported the data from Adobe Illustrator as PNG files at 900 dpi with a transparent background. The PNG files were geoferenced in ESRI ArcMap to LANDSURVEY_COUNTY_POLY_IN.shp and the mapped aquifer boundaries were digitized using the "Trace" function of the ArcMap Editor Toolbar. Any water management basin boundaries retained during the georeferencing and digitization of the aquifer system boundaries were dissolved using the "Aquifer_Type" attribute to create continuous aquifer system layers.
