Estimated aquifer distribution for private-domestic wells; estimated spatial distribution of the self-supplied domestic population for 2020 and 2010; and estimated monthly self-supplied domestic withdrawals of groundwater for the Virginia Coastal Plain
The USGS developed methods and results to improve estimation of the aquifer system, location, and quantity of private-domestic well groundwater withdrawals and the self-supplied domestic population of the Virginia Coastal Plain. This USGS data release includes (1) tabular datasets with the estimated aquifer distribution of 8,264 private-domestic wells aggregated by locality/county, USGS HU8 watershed and USGS HU10 watershed, (2) geospatial 30-meter raster datasets of the distribution of the self-supplied domestic population in the Virginia Coastal Plain for 2010 and 2020, and (3) a tabular dataset containing monthly estimates of per-capita self-supplied domestic groundwater withdrawals. This data release supports the following publication: Kearns, M.R., and Pope, J.P., 2025, Estimated hydrogeologic, spatial, and temporal distribution of self-supplied domestic groundwater withdrawals for aquifers of the Virginia Coastal Plain, U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report, 2025–5051, 45 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20255051.
