Data set of hydrogeological elements in Typical Permafrost Area of Qilian Mountain (2019)- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

The data set of hydrogeological elements in the typical frozen soil area of Qilian Mountain mainly includes groundwater type, water richness (single water inflow or single spring flow), main rivers and tributaries, spring water (falling springs, spring groups, large springs, Mineral spring distribution), borehole (pressure water borehole, submerged borehole, gravity flow borehole distribution), fault zone (compressive fracture, tensile fracture), angle unconformity boundary, parallel unconformity boundary, west branch of upper Heihe River The boundary of the watershed, the seasonal frozen soil area and the permafrost distinguish the boundary, the distribution of modern glaciers and swamps. This data set of hydrogeological elements can provide background information for the hydrological ecological process and hydrogeological environment in cold regions. This data comes from the vectorization of four 1: 200,000 hydrogeological maps (Qilian, Yenigou, Qilian, and Sunan) and reintegrates the groundwater types. With higher resolution, the data can provide background information for the research on the evolution of water and soil resources and environmental changes in the source area of the Pan-Third Pole River.

File naming and required software

File naming: files for groundwater types, water richness, major rivers and tributaries, springs, boreholes, fault zone watershed boundaries, seasonal frozen soils and permafrost boundaries, and the distribution of modern glaciers and swamps are stored in shp format For example, river.shp represents the river in the west branch of the upper reaches of the Heihe River. You can open this vector file in Arcgis software.
Data reading method: After decompression, open any file in the "Project File" folder, Arcgis will start (if your Arcgis is below 10.4, please select the lower version to open), the layer under the content list in the left column Double-click on any layer name, then right-click on "Repair Data Source" (due to the fact that the file path downloaded to different computers has changed, you need to repair the data source), select your stored "Arcgis vector file" in the pop-up folder The corresponding layer Shp file in the folder, other layers will find the corresponding vector file in the folder by default. At this time, all layers will appear in the data view box, switch to the layout view window, click the upper left file to select export The map is sufficient, that is, the hydrogeological map under the "Hydrogeological JPG Map" folder.
