As a result, in order to delineate geohydrologic settings many of the formations that were individually classified in regards to their hydrologic characteristics, have been combined with other formations with similar hydrogeologic characteristics, and the combination then reclassified using the scheme presented above. Individual formations may have different classifications based on what area of the state it occurs. It ranged from 1 to 10, with 1 representing unfractured massive shale with a low pollution potential and 10 representing well-developed karst limestone with a high pollution potential. Relative rankings from the Wyoming model were compared to the relative rankings from the eight-step aquifer characteristics model, presented above. All polygons are fully attributed.
All polygons are closed and each polygon has one unique label.
