Bear Lake provides a unique location to use bathymetric data to analyze the relationship between changing water surface elevations and the accessible spawning habitat for fish species. The spawning habitat for the prey species of Bear Lake consists of cobble which is present in the littoral zone of the lake. The littoral zone is classified as the area of the water column that has light penetration, sufficient for macrophytes to photosynthesis, to reach the sediment floor of the lake. The analysis was performed using ESRI’s ArcMap and Python coding to calculate, automate, and illustrate this relationship; and to provide a possible methodology for water and wildlife management to apply to their unique situations to make informed decisions in the future. This method is advantageous when analyzing present or future conditions because of its versatility to create hypothetical scenarios.

Water Related Land Use (1989 to 1999) consists entirely of data generated from the "Slide Transfer Method" and there is no irrigation type recorded in the attributes. This layer was combined from multiple basin layers to create the most recent state wide layer which is still completely comprised of the "Slide Transfer Method". When using multiple layers from these combined year state wide layers, please take care to verify that you do not duplicate data in certain basins due to how these layers have been generated.

For many years, the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) has collected land use data throughout the state and used this information to develop water use estimates for statewide and regional planning efforts, including water use projections, water use efficiency evaluation, groundwater model development, and water transfers. These data are essential for regional analysis and decision making, which has become increasingly important as DWR and other state agencies seek to address resource management issues, regulatory compliance issues, environmental impacts, ecosystem services, urban and economic development, and other issues. Increased availability of digital satellite imagery, aerial photography and new analytical tools make remote sensing based land use surveys possible at a field scale that is comparable to that of DWR’s historical on the ground field surveys. Current technologies allow accurate, large-scale crop and land use identification to be performed at desired time increments, and make possible more frequent and comprehensive statewide land use information. Responding to this need, DWR sought expertise and support for identifying crop types and other land uses and quantifying crop acreages statewide using remotely sensed imagery and associated analytical techniques. Currently, Statewide Crop Maps are available for the Water Years 2014, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and PROVISIONALLY for 2022. Historic County Land Use Surveys spanning 1986 - 2015 may also be accessed using the CADWR Land Use Data Viewer: https://gis.water.ca.gov/app/CADWRLandUseViewer.

The African Water Resource Database (AWRD) is a set of data and custom-designed tools, combined in a GIS analytical framework aimed at facilitating responsible inland aquatic resource management with a specific focus on inland fisheries and aquaculture. It provides a valuable instrument to promote food security. The AWRD data archive includes an extensive collection of datasets covering the African continent, including: surface waterbodies, watersheds, aquatic species, rivers, political boundaries, population density, soils, satellite imagery and many other physiographic and climatological data. To display and analyse the archival data, it also contains a large assortment of new custom applications and tools programmed to run under version 3 of the ArcView GIS software environment (ArcView 3.x).

This data set represents the estimated percentage of the 1-km grid cell that is covered by or subject to the agricultural conservation practice (CP449), Irrigation Water Management Recovery (IWM) on agricultural land by county. Irrigation Water Management Recovery is described as "the process of determining and controlling the volume, frequency, and application rate of irrigation water in a planned, efficient manner.to promote [a] desired crop response." (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1995) This data set was created with geographic information systems (GIS) and database management tools. The acres on which IWM's are applied were totaled at the county level in the tabular NRI database and then apportioned to a raster coverage of agricultural land within the county based on the Enhanced National Land Cover Dataset (NLCDe) 1-kilometer resolution land cover grids (Nakagaki, 2003). Federal land is not considered in this analysis because NRI does not record information on those lands.

This term project will use data collected by the EPA to show a list of water treatment facilities across the United States, what they use to treat their water and a risk assessment of how much chromium contamination could be possible from their water resources used in drinking water treatment.

NOTE: The IRWM polygons overlap each other. This polygon Feature Class includes IRWM planning regions participating in the State of California Department of Water Resources IRWM grant program. The data will be included as a component of the DWR Atlas of GIS data and be utilized as the feature data set for GIS projects requiring location of IRWM planning regions. This dataset is not to be utilized for survey purpose and is not designed to that accuracy level. Size of initial data set is 622 KB. Including additional attributes, the dataset is not expected to exceed 700 KB in size. Updates to this data will be once a year or as needed in conjunction with the IRWM Regional Boundaries dataset updates. Some IRWM Regions may decide not to participate in the grant program and will be in the attribute table with no spatial reference. An attribute called “Status” may be added to the feature class table. The data steward will be in charge of updating the dataset and responsible for any versioning. 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 Automated Geospatial Watershed Assessment (AGWA) tool is a GIS-based hydrologic modeling tool that uses commonly available GIS data layers to fully parameterize, execute, and spatially visualize results for the RHEM, KINEROS2, KINEROS-OPUS, SWAT2000, and SWAT2005 watershed runoff and erosion models. Accommodating novice to expert GIS users, it is designed to be used by watershed, water resource, land use, and resource managers and scientists investigating the hydrologic impacts of land-cover/land-use change in small watershed to basin-scale studies. AGWA is currently available as AGWA 1.5 for ArcView 3.x, AGWA 2.x for ArcGIS 9.x, and AGWA 3.X for ArcGIS 10.x. Planning and assessment in land and water resource management are evolving from simple, local-scale problems toward complex, spatially explicit regional ones. Such problems have to be addressed with distributed models that can compute runoff and erosion at different spatial and temporal scales. The extensive data requirements and the difficult task of building input parameter files, however, have long represented an obstacle to the timely and cost-effective use of such complex models by resource managers. The USDA- ARS Southwest Watershed Research Center, in cooperation with the U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development Landscape Ecology Branch, the University of Arizona, and the University of Wyoming, has developed a GIS tool to facilitate this process. A geographic information system (GIS) provides the framework within which spatially-distributed data are collected and used to prepare model input files and evaluate model results. AGWA uses widely available standardized spatial datasets that can be obtained via the internet. The data are used to develop input parameter files for two watershed runoff and erosion models: KINEROS2 and SWAT.

Water Related Land Use (2000 to 2005) consists entirely of data generated from the "New Digital Method" and there are only some basins with irrigation type and labels recorded in the attributes. This layer was combined from multiple basin layers to create the earliest state wide layer comprised entirely of the "New Digital Method". When using multiple layers from these combined year state wide layers, please take care to verify that you do not duplicate data in certain basins due to how these layers have been generated.The water-related land use program is an effort by the Utah Division of Water Resources to quantify the acreages in the state of various land use types, especially those which are irrigated. Prior to 2017, land use was completed for a single basin each year. The present method is able to utilize historical line-work, attributes, and remotely sensed data to estimate acreage changes for the entire state in a single year.

These files were compiled through a cooperative project between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Office of Agricultural Water Policy. Information provided in the shapefile includes the location of irrigated lands that were verified during field surveying that started in November 2022 and concluded in August 2023. Field data collected were crop type, irrigation system type, and primary water source used. A map image of the shapefile is also provided. Previously published estimates of irrigation acreage for years since 1987 are included in summary tables.

Per California Water Code Section 10609.80 (a), DWR has released an update to the indicators analyzed for the rural communities water shortage vulnerability analysis and a new interactive tool to explore the data. This page remains to archive the original dataset, but for more current information, please see the following pages: - https://water.ca.gov/Programs/Water-Use-And-Efficiency/SB-552/SB-552-Tool - https://data.cnra.ca.gov/dataset/water-shortage-vulnerability-technical-methods - https://data.cnra.ca.gov/dataset/i07-water-shortage-vulnerability-sections - https://data.cnra.ca.gov/dataset/i07-water-shortage-social-vulnerability-blockgroup This dataset is made publicly available pursuant to California Water Code Section 10609.42 which directs the California Department of Water Resources to identify small water suppliers and rural communities that may be at risk of drought and water shortage vulnerability and propose to the Governor and Legislature recommendations and information in support of improving the drought preparedness of small water suppliers and rural communities. As of March 2021, two datasets are offered here for download. The background information, results synthesis, methods and all reports submitted to the legislature are available here: https://water.ca.gov/Programs/Water-Use-And-Efficiency/2018-Water-Conservation-Legislation/County-Drought-Planning Two online interactive dashboards are available here to explore the datasets and findings. https://dwr.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=3353b370f7844f468ca16b8316fa3c7b The following datasets are offered here for download and for those who want to explore the data in tabular format. (1) Small Water Suppliers: In total, 2,419 small water suppliers were examined for their relative risk of drought and water shortage. Of these, 2,244 are community water systems. The remaining 175 systems analyzed are small non-community non-transient water systems that serve schools for which there is available spatial information. This dataset contains the final risk score and individual risk factors for each supplier examined. Spatial boundaries of water suppliers' service areas were used to calculate the extent and severity of each suppliers' exposure to projected climate changes (temperature, wildfire, and sea level rise) and to current environmental conditions and events. The boundaries used to represent service areas are available for download from the California Drinking Water System Area Boundaries, located on the California State Geoportal, which is available online for download at https://gispublic.waterboards.ca.gov/portal/home/item.html?id=fbba842bf134497c9d611ad506ec48cc (2) Rural Communities: In total 4,987 communities, represented by US Census Block Groups, were analyzed for their relative risk of drought and water shortage. Communities with a record of one or more domestic well installed within the past 50 years are included in the analysis. Each community examined received a numeric risk score, which is derived from a set of indicators developed from a stakeholder process. Indicators used to estimate risk represented three key components: (1) the exposure of suppliers and communities to hazardous conditions and events, (2) the physical and social vulnerability of communities to the exposure, and (3) recent history of shortage and drought impacts. The unit of analysis for the rural communities, also referred to as "self-supplied communities" is U.S. Census Block Groups (ACS 2012-2016 Tiger Shapefile). The Census Block Groups do not necessarily represent socially-defined communities, but they do cover areas where population resides. Using this spatial unit for this analysis allows us to access demographic information that is otherwise not available in small geographic units.

For permitting and planning purposes Northwest Florida Water Management District Governing Board has designated areas where water supply and quality are at a disadvantage compared to the current and future demand. In Water Resource Caution Areas special permitting rules apply for withdrawal of water from both ground and surface water resources for consumptive use permitting.
