Item Information

snippet: The Groundwater Modeling Climate Divisions polygon dataset is provided specifically for use in TWDB Groundwater Availability Modeling (GAM) projects. The Groundwater Modeling Climate Divisions boundaries are geographically coincident with the TWDB Counties foundation feature class and all other boundary feature classes within the Boundary feature dataset. The GAM File Geodatabase also contains the same TWDB Climate Divisions polygon feature class with a more generalized Gulf of Mexico boundary within the Climate feature dataset.
