This USGS data release contains text files of (1) interpreted borehole hydrogeologic-unit top-surface altitudes, (2) summary values of previously documented estimates of aquifer hydraulic properties, and (3) groundwater-sample chloride concentrations and well summary statistics. In addition are shapefiles of altitude contours for 10 hydrogeologic-unit top surfaces, and for the groundwater 250 milligrams per liter chloride-concentration surface.\nThis data release supports the following publication:\nMcFarland, E.R., and Beach, T.A., 2019, Hydrogeologic framework of the Virginia Eastern Shore: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2019-5093, 26 p., 13 pl., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20195093.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9MPE5SD", "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.5d13708fe4b0941bde57785f.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_5d13708fe4b0941bde57785f", "keyword": ["Accomack County, Virginia", "Atlantic Coastal Plain Physiographic Province", "Delaware", "Delmarva peninsula", "Maryland", "Northampton County, Virginia", "Saint Marys confining unit", "USGS:5d13708fe4b0941bde57785f", "Virginia", "Virginia Eastern Shore", "Washington DC", "Yorktown-Eastover aquifer system", "aquifers", "chloride", "confining units", "groundwater", "groundwater flow", "hydraulic properties", "hydrogeologic framework", "paleochannels", "saltwater intrusion", "saltwater movement", "storativity", "transmissivity", "water supply", "water supply and demand", "water-resource management"], "modified": "2022-08-10T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-76.033720143, 37.133843683, -75.30454131, 38.096516916", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Borehole hydrogeologic-unit top-surface altitudes, aquifer hydraulic properties, and groundwater-sample chloride-concentration data from 1906 through 2016 for the Virginia Eastern Shore"}
