Abstract

This dataset represents the Great Salt Lake aquifer, developed by Brigham Young University (BYU). It includes spatial and attribute data in shapefile format, detailing groundwater characteristics, aquifer boundaries, and related hydrological features. The dataset is intended for hydroinformatics research, groundwater management, and environmental studies. It provides essential geospatial insights for analyzing aquifer conditions and supporting water resource planning.
