Description
Abstract: Compiled source materials to represent threatened and endangered species and species in need of conservation value.
Purpose: Resource element dataset for the KATS system to target valuable or vulnerable water resources for water quality assessment evaluation.
Access Constraints: None
Use Constraints: This tool should only be used for preliminary assessment and is inappropriate for small-scale analyses. Data is current as of publication date. KDHE and KWO are not responsible for database integrity following download and publication. To be used at minimum scale of 1:100,000.


Data Quality Information
Lineage:/Source Information
Type of source media: DLG, Scanned Maps, EPA RF-3
Source scale denominator: 1:500,000, 1:100,000, 1:24,000
Source citation abbreviation: Kansas Department of Health and Environment
Attribute Accuracy:/Attribute Accuracy Value: Variable dependent upon currency of source material. See KATS project documentation for component synthesis procedures.
Attribute Accuracy Report: Irrespective of source or form, raw values for each water resource element were aggregated within a HUC 11 unit and normalized to a 5-point nominal scale, see normalized or ranked values. See KATS project documentation for component synthesis procedures.
Positional Accuracy:/Horizontal Positional Accuracy:/Horizontal Positional Accuracy Value: not applicable
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: All water resource elements used in the KATS system have been aggregated to HUC 11 areal units. Refer to HUC 11 metadata report for horizontal accuracy criteria.
