Description:
SWPA_alvbsn is a vector dataset of alluvial-fill basin statistics for the Southwest United States. Statistics for each basin include physical details such as area, landcover, elevation, slope and precipitation. Anthropogenic data for basin include landuse, population, and wateruse.

The displayed value in Data Basin is a multi-attribute value portraying total (ground and surface) water use in acre-feet per year per square kilometer (WU_TOT_AF / AREA_SQ_KM).
