Data release for depth to bedrock from Rhode Island Water Resources Maps

This data release, RI_WRpts.gdb, consists of information from Rhode Island Ground-water maps published by the Rhode Island Water Resources Coordinating Board, the Rhode Island Port and Industrial Development Commission, Rhode Island Industrial Commission, and the Rhode Island Development Council; in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey. The point data on these maps have been digitized into a standard ArcGIS geodatabase format. Data about wells and test borings consists of geographic location, identification number, geologic material (bedrock or unconsolidated), altitude in feet of the bedrock surface or altitude of the bottom of well, and data source. Seismic survey locations and bedrock outcrops where they are shown as points on the source maps are also included. The Ground-water maps, published between 1948 and 1964, also show geologic information which is being used to create a revised surficial materials database for future publication.
