By Cristi V. Hansen INTRODUCTION Water-resource-related data for sites in Wyandotte County were compiled and collected in cooperation with the Wyandotte County Health Department as part of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment's Local Environmental Protection Program (LEPP). These data were entered into a geographic information system (G/S) to facilitate the spatial analysis required to meet the LEPP goals of developing plans for nonpoint-source management and for publicwater-supply protection. The data in the G/S are organized into digital spatial data sets that are referred to as coverages. The coverage WYUSGS contains site, construction, geologic, water-level, and water-quality data compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey for 264 wells. The coverage WYWWC5 contains site, construction, and geologic data compiled by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment for 631 wells. The coverage WYHEQW contains site and water-quality data compiled by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment for 8 wells, 3 public-water-supply distribution systems, 1 stream, and 1 surface-water impoundment. The coverage WYDWR contains site and waterwithdrawal data compiled by the Division of Water Resources of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture for 92 wells and 27 streams or surface-water impoundments. The coverage WYDRLG contains site, construction, geologic, and water-level data compiled by well-drilling contractors and the Kansas Geological Survey for 200 wells. The coverage WYKGS contains site, water-level, and water-quality data compiled by the Kansas Geological Survey for 385 wells. The coverage WYCOQW contains the site, water-level, and water-quality data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Wyandotte County Health Department at 19 wells, 1 spring, and 1 stream in or near Wyandotte County as a part of the LEPP. The data in these seven coverages are available in digital form from the U.S. Geological Survey in Lawrence, Kansas. The State Water Resource Planning Act established "the protection and improvement of the quality of the water supplies of the state" and "the prevention of the pollution of the water supplies of the state" as two of the State's long-range goals (Kansas Statutes Annotated 82a-903 et seq.). Recommendations on how to achieve these goals are contained in the Kansas Water Plan. The Local Environmental Protection Program (LEPP) was developed in response to a recommendation in the Kansas Water Plan for the development of partnerships between State and local agencies (such as county health departments or water districts) for the purpose of protecting the quality of the environment. The LEPP began in 1989 with the passage of a law by the Kansas Legislature that declares "the State of Kansas shall provide state environmental protection grants to local health departments or other local entities for the purpose of developing and implementing environmental protection plans and programs" (Kansas Statutes Annotated 75-5657). Local agencies are encouraged by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE\ through the auspices of the LEPP, to "establish and operate programs for the prevention and correction of sources of pollution that degrade water quality" as part of a comprehensive Local Environmental Protection Plan for "the management of pollutant sources which may effect water quality" (Kansas Department of Health and Environment, 1991). The KDHE identifies two of the objectives to be included in a Local Environmental Protection Plan as development of a nonpoint-source management plan and development of a public-water-supply protection plan (Kansas Department of Health and Environment, 1991). To meet these objectives, local agencies need (1) to identify the sources of existing water supplies, (2) to define the quality of water of these sources, and (3) to delineate the areas where these sources are contaminated or
