Purpose The WRB soils data set was designed to immediately contain a basic set of data needed to describe relevent soil characteristics of the entire Basin. For ISE purposes, this was primarily suitability analyses for modeling urban growth. The data set was also compiled to be, within the constraints of the level of data development present, readily attributed with other information from the associated look-up tables for a variety of research efforts within the Consortium. Supplemental_Information Procedures_Used See processs narrative. Revisions See process narrative. Reviews_Applied_to_Data None Related_Spatial_and_Tabular_Data_Sets A wide range of information can be found in the extensive associated lookup tables. Full desriptions fo the fields and definitions of these fields can be found in the Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO and STATSGO) Database available from the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Access_Constraints Release by NRCS Use_Constraints Data is of mixed heritage in terms of degree of completion, accuracy, and scale. On the valley floor, SSURGO covered areas, large anomolies, attributable to the mixed cretified/uncertified county coverages, were discovered in the compilation process. [See process narrative.] Foothill and mountain areas are covered by STATSGO data at a much coarser grain suitable for regional planning. Point_of_Contact: See Distribution_Information for contact information.
Data_Set_Credit Data was created and digitized by the NRCS. Individuals of great assistance in compiling the data were Sheri Schneider and Brandi Baird at the NRCS. Jorge Goicochea, David Richey, and Melissa Richmond were principally responsible for the compilation of county and basin coverages from NRCS information.
