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

June 13, 2025

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.
