Abstract

Here we present a geospatial dataset representing local- and regional-scale aquifer system boundaries, defined on the basis of an extensive literature review and published in GebreEgziabher et al. (2022). Nature Communications, 13, 2129, https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-29678-7

The database contains 440 polygons, each representing one study area analyzed in GebreEgziabher et al. (2022). The attribute table associated with the shapefile has two fields (column headings): (1) aquifer system title (Ocala Uplift sub-area of the broader Floridan Aquifer System), and (2) broader aquifer system title (e.g., the Floridan Aquifer System).

Contents:
- 440 features (polygons) stored as a shapefile
- each feature represents one study area defined by GebreEgziabher et al. (2022)
- each feature has a unique aquifer name identified in the field entitled 'Aquifer' (see attribute table)
- some features are sub-areas within a broader, regional-scale aquifer system that is identified in the field entitled: 'BroaderSys' (see attribute table)

When I access the link corresponding to Web Feature Service through GIS software, it will prompt: 000228: Cannot open the dataset. Can you help me to see how to solve it?
