One common method used \nthroughout the southwest United States is to estimate ground-water discharge from evapotranspiration \n(ET). ET is a process by which water from the Earth's surface is transferred to the atmosphere. \nThe volume of water lost to the atmosphere by ET can be computed as the product of the ET rate and \nthe acreage of vegetation, open water, and moist soil through which ET occurs. The procedure used in \nthe study, groups areas of similar vegetation, water, and soil conditions into different ET units and \nassigns an average annual ET rate to each unit. The data sets and the procedures used to delineate \nthe ET-unit map are described in this metadata.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9Y092IK", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.ea377595-0b81-418f-b9f7-457b42bb64e7.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_ea377595-0b81-418f-b9f7-457b42bb64e7", "keyword": ["Basin and Range", "Butte Valley", "Cave Valley", "ET", "ET unit", "Jakes Valley", "Lake Valley", "Landsat", "Little Smoky Valley", "Long Valley", "Newark Valley", "Snake Valley", "Spring Valley", "Steptoe Valley", "Tippett Valley", "USGS:ea377595-0b81-418f-b9f7-457b42bb64e7", "White Pine County", "White River Valley", "carbonate-rock aquifer system", "eastern Nevada", "evapotranspiration", "inlandWaters", "western Utah"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-116.402713, 37.863804, -113.301769, 40.492549", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Evapotranspiration units in the Basin and Range carbonate-rock aquifer system, White Pine County, Nevada, and adjacent parts of Nevada and Utah"}
