Summary

This data release, RI_WRpts.gdb, consists of information from Rhode Island Ground-water maps published by the Rhode Island Water Resources Coordinating Board, the Rhode Island Port and Industrial Development Commission, Rhode Island Industrial Commission, and the Rhode Island Development Council; in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey. The point data on these maps have been digitized into a standard ArcGIS geodatabase format. Data about wells and test borings consists of geographic location, identification number, geologic material (bedrock or unconsolidated), altitude in feet of the bedrock surface or altitude of the bottom of well, and data source. Seismic survey locations and bedrock outcrops where they are shown as points [...]

Purpose

The purpose of this data release and related products is to provide digital access to existing analog data previously published by the state of Rhode Island in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey. One use of this dataset is to inform models and maps of the top of the buried bedrock surface in Rhode Island.
