This is a polygon dataset depicting the boundaries of aquifer systems in the state of Louisiana and adjacent areas of Texas, Arkansas and a portion of Mississippi. These aquifers have been classified for recharge potential from 'none' to 'high.' The data set was developed by digitizing maps of the 'State Aquifer Recharge Map and Atlas Plates.' A description and explanation of the maps of that atlas and the aquifer systems named in this data set are contained in 'Donovan Boniol, Whitney J. Autin, and Bradford C. Hanson, "Recharge Potential of Louisiana A Supplement to the State Aquifer Recharge Map and Atlas Plates," Louisiana Geological Survey Open File Series No. 88-07.'
