Westlands Water District Boundary

Description:
Federal Water District boundaries are areas where Federal contracts provide water to the district in California. This database is designed as a regions polygon database and is updated when sufficient number of changes have occured to warrant an update. Updates are determined by the needs of the local office. Separate databases are used for maintenance purposes. Boundaries are continually being updated as changes are identified by the Water Districts. The boundaries are not current for all Water Districts found in the database at the same time due to the update methods employed. There may be conflicts in the boundaries between districts due to the time of update, the review process associated, and issues between each Water District. Other problems may be associated with Water District name changes that have not been updated. This database represents the most current and accurate understanding of the boundary location and current name of the Water Districts.



Calculation of acreage should be performed on the individual districts or on the District region for all districts. Please ensure that the appropriate conversion value is used. This data is stored in meters.



NOTE: This will be the last version of this database distributed in this format. The USBR will be moving this database into a Geodatabase format for all future releases.
