Purpose

Large scale representation of population distribution in the conterminous United States. This data set was converted for use in the analysis of ground-water quality data on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water-Quality Assessment Program (NAWQA) VOC National Synthesis Team.
