Description: The Outdoor Recreation Inventory (ORI) was originally created to track publicly owned lands within Delaware that are open for public recreation. The database has since been expanded to include all publicly and privately owned protected lands (Federal, State, County, Municipal and private conservation) regardless of whether or not they are open to the public.

Description: The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a feature-based database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the stream segments or reaches that make up the nation's surface water drainage system. NHD data was originally developed at 1:100,000-scale and exists at that scale for the whole country. This high-resolution NHD, generally developed at 1:24,000/1:12,000 scale, adds detail to the original 1:100,000-scale NHD. (Data for Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands was developed at high-resolution, not 1:100,000 scale.) Local resolution NHD is being developed where partners and data exist. The NHD contains reach codes for networked features, flow direction, names, and centerline representations for areal water bodies. Reaches are also defined on waterbodies and the approximate shorelines of the Great Lakes, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. The NHD also incorporates the National Spatial Data Infrastructure framework criteria established by the Federal Geographic Data Committee.

Description: Flood hazard areas identified on the Flood Insurance Rate Map are identified as a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). SFHA are defined as the area that will be inundated by the flood event having a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. The 1-percent annual chance flood is also referred to as the base flood or 100-year flood. SFHAs are labeled as Zone A, Zone AO, Zone AH, Zones A1-A30, Zone AE, Zone A99, Zone AR, Zone AR/AE, Zone AR/AO, Zone AR/A1-A30, Zone AR/A, Zone V, Zone VE, and Zones V1-V30. Moderate flood hazard areas, labeled Zone B or Zone X (shaded) are also shown on the FIRM, and are the areas between the limits of the base flood and the 0.2-percent-annual-chance (or 500-year) flood. The areas of minimal flood hazard, which are the areas outside the SFHA and higher than the elevation of the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood, are labeled Zone C or Zone X (unshaded).
Description: This data set is a central repository of GIS polygons representing the boundaries of incorporated municipalities in the state of Delaware.

Description: The purpose of this program is to protect the quality of public water supplies derived from public water wells by providing local governments with the knowledge and tools necessary to protect the land area surrounding those wells from activities or substances that might harm the quality or quantity of water derived from those wells. This purpose will be accomplished in part by the creation and implementation of a "Water Supply Protection Program," which incorporates the federal Wellhead Protection Program required by Congress in the 1986 Amendments to the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. This plan has been developed under the guidance of both the U.S. EPA and the State's Water Supply Protection Advisory Board (WSPAB). The assistance of these two organizations has been vital to the development of a meaningful and workable method for protecting the State's water supplies. This data was made as a reference and aid to internal staff, partnered agencies and the public.Data is DOW_WHPA_SP in FirstMap Stage Enterprise Geodatabase that are then used to update the PLC_WHPA Enterprise Geodatabase Feature Class made available from DNREC's Enterprise Geodatabase.

Name: Groundwater Recharge Potential - Kent & Sussex Counties
Display Field: RECHARGE
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: Ground-water recharge potential maps show land areas characterized by their abilities to transmit water from land surface to a depth of 20 feet. The basic methods for mapping ground-water recharge potential are presented in Delaware Geological Survey Open File Report No. 34 (Andres, 1991) and were developed specifically for the geohydrologic conditions present in the Coastal Plain of Delaware. The digital data for this layer comes from DGS Digital Data Product DP 02-01, Digital Ground-Water Recharge Potential Map Data For Kent and Sussex Counties, Delaware: A. S. Andres, C. S. Howard, T. A. Keyser, L. T. Wang, 2002.
