CHAPTER 5 - GROUNDWATER DATA ISSUES 



Cape Cod Aquifer Management Project Final Report Page 40 



6. Comparison of delineated zones of contribution with a proposed 

 interim half-mile radius for use by DEQE for those areas where 

 such zones have not been delineated. 



7. Application of CCAMP nitrate loading model in a 

 wellhead-protection area. 



The demonstration project indicated that geographic information 

 systems can be successfully used for diverse planning and regulatory pur- 

 poses related to groundwater protection. It is hoped that the lessons 

 learned from this project on georeferencing data, data integration, issues 

 involved in setting up such an extensive effort, and CIS applicability 

 will be helpful to CIS efforts elsewhere. The project report should also 

 be helpful in encouraging the upgrading and integration of databases for 

 their eventual use in a CIS or an interagency data base. The existing GIS 

 overlays that have been digitized for this CCAMP study effort should also 

 be utilized in future, localized GIS efforts that will follow CCAMP. A 

 full discussion of the CCAMP GIS project and accompanying maps are con- 

 tained in a separate CCAMP report, "A Demonstration of Geographic 

 Information System for Ground Water Protection" and a separate report by 

 the U. S. Geological Survey.
