Description  
    Abstract
    SQUALWAT is a coverage of natural ground water quality in Missouri.
     
     
    Purpose
    This coverage was created for the Vulnerability Assessment of Missouri
    Public Drinking Water to Chemical Contamination project (VA) funded by
    the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR).  It was primarily
    created as a backdrop to map VA project features on.
     
    The VA project was implemented in 1991 by MDNR.  MDNR - PDWP contracted
    with CARES to conduct this assessment.  The project is designed to determine
    which, if any, public water supplies are threatened by any chemicals being
    tested under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
     
     
Supplemental_Information
    Procedures_Used
    A coverage of Missouri counties was used as a base cover.  The county
    boundaries were disolved and the isolines of the Groundwater Quality
    map were digitized into the cover.  Attributes were then added to the
    Polygon Attribute Table.
