* Metric Name: Groundwater Basin Boundaries  

* Tier: 3  

* Data Vintage: 02/2022  

* Unit Of Measure: Binary  

* Represent element and pillar: No  

* Type and distribution of data: Binomial distribution representing continuous values. Raw values range from 1 to 1.  

* Translation: Where are groundwater basin boundaries the highest?  

* Translation method and outcome: Raw data values translated to range from +1 to -1 representing more favorable to less favorable conditions, respectively. **** The proposition of more favorable is based on the objective of high presence of groundwater basins (positive linear slope). More favorable (translated to +1) set at 1, and less favorable (translated to -1) set at < 0\.
