Resource Abstract:
This data set represents the estimated percentage of the 1-km grid cell that is covered by or subject to the agricultural conservation practice (CPIS04), Stream, Lagoon or Other Waste Waster (not including tailwater recovery) as an Irrigation Source (LWWIS) on agricultural land by county. Stream, Lagoon or Other Waste Waster (not including tailwater recovery) as an Irrigation Source is described as an "impoundment made by excavation or earthfill for biological treatment of animal or other agricultural waste." (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1995) This data set was created with geographic information systems (GIS) and database management tools. The acres on which LWWIS's are applied were totaled at the county level in the tabular NRI database and then apportioned to a raster coverage of agricultural land within the county based on the Enhanced National Land Cover Dataset (NLCDe) 1-kilometer resolution land cover grids (Nakagaki, 2003). Federal land is not considered in this analysis because NRI does not record information on those lands.

purpose:
This dataset was created for two main purposes; (1) summarize and provide refined spatial detail to attributes of agricultural practices from the 1992 NRI dataset; and (2) to support hydrologic modeling. The U. S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) program is using the spatially refined LWWIS dataset to produce ancillary information for characterizing surface and ground-water sampling sites. Calculation of percentages of NAWQA study areas treated by Stream, Lagoon or Other Waste Waster (not including tailwater recovery) as an Irrigation Source is one example of the type of use of this data set. The 1992 NRI data was used because it was created in the same early to mid-1990s time frame as the NLCD. NAWQA plans on processing the NRI in this fashion every 5 years as new NRI and NLCDE data are published.

Use Constraints: The NRI dataset is tabulated at the county level only and deemed accurate for this analysis (Nusser and Goebel, 1997). The spatial distribution of this data also assumes the NLCDe has an acceptable accuracy for this analysis (Nakagaki, 2003). Therefore this data set does not provide specific locations of a particular NRI code but the percent of county agricultural land that practices NRI code 607 over the total agricultural land in a particular county.

Additional information on resource:
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) initiated the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program in 1991 to accomplish two primary objectives. The first objective was to assess the status and trends in the quality of the Nation's ground-water and surface-water resources, and the second objective was to link the status and trends with an understanding of the natural and human factors that affect water quality (Gilliom and others, 1995). "The National Resources Inventory is a statistically based sample of land-use and natural resource conditions and trends on U.S. nonfederal lands. It is the most comprehensive database of its kind ever attempted anywhere in the world. The Natural Resources Conservation Service's program for NRI serves as the Federal Government's principal source of information on the status, condition, and trends of soil, water, and related resources in the United States. The assessment of a nation's natural resources and environmental condition provided by the NRI requires a nationally consistent database that allows for manipulation of various parameters in order to make accurate assessments. For these manipulations and subsequent analyses to be useful for public policy considerations, the NRI database has a high degree of reliability, looks at the natural resources over a period of time, and permits analyses at national, regional, and local levels. The NRI is unique because it provides a nationally consistent database for all nonfederal lands, it features data gathered and monitored in 1982, 1987, 1992, and 1997 by thousands of technical and natural resource data collection experts, and it has a direct correlation with soils data, which permits analysis of resources in relation to the capability of the land and in terms of soil resources and conditions. Informed and valid decisions are best made when based upon scientifically derived data. The NRI has been developed to supply this type of information. The NRI database is powerful, credible, and scientifically constructed. The present NRI is the result of many decades of development." (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1995) Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee-compliant metadata file is intended to document the dataset in nonproprietary form, as well as in ArcInfo format, this metadata file may include some ArcInfo-specific terminology.
