This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):
Horizontal positions are specified in geographic coordinates, that is, latitude and longitude. Latitudes are given to the nearest 0.000000. Longitudes are given to the nearest 0.000000. Latitude and longitude values are specified in Decimal degrees.
The horizontal datum used is North American Datum of 1927.
The ellipsoid used is Clarke 1866.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378206.400000.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/294.978698.
Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.
Coordinates defining the features.
PERMIT_NO: Wyoming SEO well permit number TOWNSHIP: Number of township well is located in RANGE: Number of range well is located in SECTION: 1 through 36: Number of section well is located in QQ: Quarter-quarter section well is located in (eg. NENW) USEE: DOM = domestic; STO = stock; MIS = misc; RAI = railroad IRR = irrigation; MUN = municipal PRIORITY: Date of permit issuance ACTUAL_YIELD: Yield of well in cfs (cubic feet per second) WELLDEPTH: depth of well in feet STATDEPTH: depth to static water level in feet MWBZTOP: Depth to the top of the main water bearing zone MWBZBOT: Depth of bottom of the main water bearing zone COUNTY: county that the well falls in ERROR: Value is 0 if well was correctly placed within section. Otherwise, the value is the number of the adjacent section where the well was mislocated. See the Positonal Accuracy section for more details.

This data set enables users to view the State Engineer's office groundwater well permit database spatially. Viewing the data spatially gives users the ability to perform regional analysis. This data set was created specifically for use in the Snake/Salt River Basin project. Inaccuracies associated with township-range locational descriptions as well as the problems inherent in the State Engineer's Office database exist in this data set.

Data sources used in this process:
Attributes are based on the State Engineer's Office data. They have not been modified and should therefore be as accurate as the source data.
There are two sources of error associated with the transfer of location description from township/range/section/quarter/quarter to latitude/longitude. First of all, because the latitude/longitude generated is the centroid of the quarter/quarter section, the actual well location could be anywhere within the quarter/quarter section, or +/- 279 meters. Secondly, the program used to convert the TRSQQ to Lat/Long, assumes all sections are the roughly 1 square mile, but in fact many sections are irregular in size. Because of this, some well locations were inaccurately placed in an adjacent quarter-quarter section. In every case, however, the well should fall within the correct 1:24,000 scale section.

- This data set was created specifically for use in the Wyoming Water Development Commission's Snake/Salt River Basin Plan. This data set was designed for 1:24,000-scale regional analysis and should not be used for site-specific analysis. Inaccuracies associated with township-range locational descriptions as well as the problems inherent in the State Engineer's Office database exist in this data set.
