This dataset contains the amalgamation of the hydrographic area (HA) boundaries and polygons for the GBCAAS study area. The study area consists of 165 HAs based on Great Basin HAs defined by the USGS in 1988 (Harrill and others, 1988; Buto, 2009). This dataset does not contain the HA boundaries or geologic details included in the source dataset. For that information, please see the metadata for the source dataset at https://water.usgs.gov/GIS/metadata/usgswrd/XML/sir2010_5193_ha1000.xml The study area boundary dataset is used by the Office of Groundwater, U.S. Geological Survey, in its hyrogeological framework website.
