This geospatial database was designed to warehouse thematic layers of the different types of data described in the abstract pertaining to the Hueco-Mesilla Bolsons aquifer as well as display field-collected hydrologic data from digital databases of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), the New Mexico Office of the State Engineer (NMOSE), New Mexico Oil Conservation District (NMOCD) and University of Texas (UT) Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG). The geospatial database contains both vector and raster datasets and these disparate database resources were combined into a simple data model. Site locations are geospatially-enabled and stored in a feature class for general mapping purposes and more rigorous spatial analysis. The geospatial-relation classes provide users with the ability to perform spatial and data-driven queries of the data stored in the geospatial database.
