National Water Information Systems Station Locations in Kentucky

Miles along rivers and streams in the National Hydrologic Database (NHD) with a valid Geographic Naming Information System (GNIS) name and code. Many agencies in the Commonwealth of Kentucky use river mile points in various regulatory programs. This data set was built to provide these agencies with a consistent and more precise source of river miles.

NWIS Groundwater Sites linked to the NHDPlus river network through the USGS Network-Linked Data Index (NLDI), which navigates upstream and downstream along rivers to find connected monitoring sites, basins and features.

Dye trace sites in karst areas of Kentucky. Associated layers include injection and recovery points, flow paths, inferred ground-water basins, sinking streams, and intermittent lakes. Created at a scale of 1:100,000. Should only be used for general guidance at larger scales.

The purpose of this feature class is to illustrate the location of water master meters in the public water systems in the Commonwealth of Kentucky as collected by Kentucky’s Area Development Districts and provided by the Kentucky Division of Water. The locations of water master meters, along with the basic attribute data concerning those features, are used by the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority, Area Development Districts, public water systems, and other state/local agencies for the purpose of water infrastructure planning and management, project development, asset inventories, capital improvement plans, data analysis, and for any other purpose that will improve the potable water infrastructure and service in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
