Land Area

Water Area

Land area is a measurement providing the size, in square miles, of the land portions of geographic entities for which the Census Bureau tabulates and disseminates data. Area is calculated from the specific boundary recorded for each entity in the Census Bureau's geographic database. Land area is based on current information in the TIGER® data base, calculated for use with Census 2010.

Water Area figures include inland, coastal, Great Lakes, and territorial sea water. Inland water consists of any lake, reservoir, pond, or similar body of water that is recorded in the Census Bureau's geographic database. It also includes any river, creek, canal, stream, or similar feature that is recorded in that database as a two- dimensional feature (rather than as a single line). The portions of the oceans and related large embayments (such as Chesapeake Bay and Puget Sound), the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea that belong to the United States and its territories are classified as coastal and territorial waters; the Great Lakes are treated as a separate water entity. Rivers and bays that empty into these bodies of water are treated as inland water from the point beyond which they are narrower than 1 nautical mile across. Identification of land and inland, coastal, territorial, and Great Lakes waters is for data presentation purposes only and does not necessarily reflect their legal definitions.

    COVID-19 Prevalence in Waste Water

    data.ramseycounty.us | Last Updated 2023-09-26T17:19:08.000Z

    SARS-CoV-2 prevalence in wastewater influent is determined from multiple samples of wastewater each day. Units are in millions of copies of N1 and N2 genes, per person in the sewage treatment area, per day. Viral load data are from Metropolitan Council and the University of Minnesota Genomics Center. Variant presence and frequency are inferred from the N501Y mutation (Alpha, Beta and Gamma); the L452R mutation (Delta); and the K417N mutation (Omicron). K417N mutations present before November 18, 2020 are assumed to be Beta variants, and are marked as Other in the variant column.

    DWR Dam Safety Jurisdictional Dam

    data.colorado.gov | Last Updated 2024-09-24T06:04:55.000Z

    A Jurisdictional Dam is a dam creating a reservoir with a capacity of more than 100 acre-feet, or creates a reservoir with a surface area in excess of 20 acres at the high-water line, or exceeds 10 feet in height measured vertically from the elevation of the lowest point of the natural surface of the ground where that point occurs along the longitudinal centerline of the dam up to the crest of the emergency spillway of the dam. For reservoirs created by excavation, or where the invert of the outlet conduit is placed below the surface of the natural ground at its lowest point beneath the dam, the jurisdictional height shall be measured from the invert of the outlet at the longitudinal centerline of the embankment or from the bottom of the excavation at the longitudinal centerline of the dam, whichever is greatest. Jurisdictional height is defined in Rule 4.2.19. The State Engineer shall have final authority over determination of the jurisdictional height of the dam.

    2015 Agricultural Baseline

    highways.hidot.hawaii.gov | Last Updated 2023-03-24T00:48:59.000Z

    The 2015 Hawaii Statewide Agricultural Land Use Baseline layer was created to provide a snapshot of contemporary commercial agricultural land use activity in Hawaii. It is based upon an assemblage of geospatial datasets, primarily high-resolution WorldView-2 satellite imagery (2011-2013) used as a base layer for digitization. Additional datasets used in this work include GIS layers (‘Agriculture and Farming’, ‘Inland Water Resources’, and ‘Cadastral and Land Descriptions’) provided by the state of Hawaii, Office of Planning Statewide GIS Program and other data provided by major land owners and managers. Digitized crop locations and boundaries were verified through a combination of on-the-ground site visits, meetings and presentations of draft layers with agricultural stakeholders and landowners, solicitations through a publicly accessible online web mapping portal, and spot-checking using Google Earth™ and other high resolution imagery sources. In addition to the satellite imagery, County Real Property Tax and Agricultural Water Use data were also used to identify commercial farm operations. Data for both real property tax assessment and agricultural water use were collected from each county thatprovided their most recent records, generally from 2014-2015. Not all properties that receive County agricultural tax assessment rates or reduced water cost for agricultural uses were mapped due to the small scale of some of their operations. These data sources were used to verify mapped commercial farms and identify operations that might have been missed using the imagery alone. The 2015 Hawaii Statewide Agricultural Land Use Baseline layer represents our best efforts to capture the scale and diversity of commercial agricultural activity in Hawaii in 2015 and should be used for informational purposes only. Note: April 2022: Several users of the data discovered that the original 2015 Hawaiʻi Statewide Agricultural Land Use Baseline layer and the 2020 Update to the Hawaiʻi Statewide Agricultural Land Use Baseline layer did not overlay properly, with an offset between the layers of 10 feet to 40 feet, depending on the area. As a result, both the original and the updated layers have been republished, and now overlay as they should. The underlying data itself has not changed. Please note - if you download data from the State's geoportal (https://geoportal.hawaii.gov/), the data is exported in WGS84 coordinates, although it is stored internally (in the State’s geodatabase), served in the State's web services (https://geodata.hawaii.gov/arcgis/rest/services) and made available in the State's legacy download site (https://planning.hawaii.gov/gis/download-gis-data-expanded/) in UTM / NAD 83 coordinates.
