Wells as an Irrigation Source on Agricultural Land in the Conterminous United States, 1992: National Resource Inventory Conservation Practice IS01
This data set represents the estimated percentage of the 1-km grid cell that is covered by or subject to the
agricultural conservation practice (CPIS01), Wells as an Irrigation Source (WIS) on agricultural land by county.
Wells as an Irrigation Source are described as a "hole drilled or bored into the earth providing access to water."
(U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1995) This data set was created with geographic information systems (GIS)
and database management tools. The acres on which WIS's are applied were totaled at the county level in the
tabular NRI database and then apportioned to a raster coverage of agricultural land within the county based on
the Enhanced National Land Cover Dataset (NLCDe) 1-kilometer resolution land cover grids (Nakagaki, 2003).
Federal land is not considered in this analysis because NRI does not record information on those lands.
