Description
Abstract: The Public Water Supply Sites coverage, used to support the water quality program, references sampling and supply locations across the state. The coverage data is current as of the publication date. The KDHE/BOW operational database is a dynamic database.
Purpose: This coverage was developed to improve program staff reporting capabilities, to cross-reference this date with EPA's hydrologic reach reference system, and to establish a stable reference for continued environmental assessment.
Access Constraints: None
Use Constraints: Data is current as of publication date. KDHE/BOW is not responsible for database integrity following download and publication. To be used at minimum scale of 1:100,000. Please be advised that the Kansas Open Records Act (KORA), K.S.A. 45-215 et seq. and K.S.A. 21- 3914, prohibit the commercial use of the facility list by any person. Any person who receives a list of names and addresses for the purpose of selling or offering to sell any property or service to listed persons may be found guilty of a Class C misdemeanor except in the limited circumstances provided for in K.S.A. 21-3914. Contact KDHE for more information.


Data Quality Information
Lineage:/Source Information
Type of source media: KDHE program database source
Source scale denominator: 24,000; 100,000
Source citation abbreviation: KDHE
Attribute Accuracy:/Attribute Accuracy Value: Attribute database reflects internal KDHE QAQC controls for related source materials as of publication date
Attribute Accuracy Report: Where applicable, KDHE database QAQC includes data entry validity checks for acceptable ranges and coincident spatial references. Converted point, line and polygon resources are cross-referenced against a standard series of administrative and physical boundary files that include county, KDHE district, hydrologic basin, hydrologic unit code 8 and 11. HUC association error for STATE_SWIM is an estimated five percent
Positional Accuracy:/Horizontal Positional Accuracy:/Horizontal Positional Accuracy Value: LEO conversion horizontal accuracy is less than or equal to one-half the hypotenuse of a PLSS section unit. GPS horizontal accuracy is +/- 5 meters.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: Where applicable, KDHE database QAQC includes verification of coincident legal description conversions and county administrative units. Differential correction post-processing using K-State Salina base station data is used to derive GPS coordinates. Legal descriptions include township, range, section and up to four quarter-section designations.
