Description:

Abstract:: This spatial layer contains information about spring and meteorological sites in the upper Washita River basin in southwestern Oklahoma where information was collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) from 1947 to 1989. The site information was retrieved from the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) database in September 2005. Each site has an attribute 'STAID' that relates to environmental data collected at the site in the tabular file 'USGS_other_wq'.
Purpose:: To provide site and environmental data to users working in the upper Washita River basin.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The site information was retrieved from the USGS NWIS database. A shapefile was created using site latitude and longitude coordinate in ArcMap. The shapefile was projected to Albers Conical Equal Area projection, imported into the geodatabase, and metadata written.
