Description
Abstract: KS-USES coverage, used to support the water quality program, references water quality use support designations across the state. The coverage data is current as of the publication date. The KDHE/BER operational database is a dynamic database.
Purpose: This coverage was developed to improve program staff reporting capabilities to comply with the Clean Water Act, to cross-reference this date with EPA's hydrologic reach reference system, and to establish a stable reference for continued water quality monitoring assessment.
Access Constraints: None
Use Constraints: Data is current as of publication date. KDHE/OSS is not responsible for database integrity following download and publication. To be used at minimum scale of 1:100,000. Contact KDHE for more information.
