  1. Data Sources for GIS in Water Resources

  2. National Hydro Data Programs National Elevation Dataset (NED) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) NED-Hydrology Watershed Boundary Dataset

  3. Watersheds of the US 2-digit water resource regions 8-digit HUC watersheds

  4. Hydrologic Unit Code Watersheds ~ 2000 for US, about the size of counties

  5. Watershed Hierarchy Digit # 2 4 6 8 HUC 10 12 EDNA Available In Progress

  6. National Program by USGS and USDA (NRCS) Boundaries for 10- and 12- digit watersheds First cut is by automated delineation from NED Hand checked and edited Watershed Boundary Dataset 10-digit watersheds

  7. EPA River Reach File 1 (RF1)

  8. BASINS - Integrating GIS and Water Quality Modeling Data Cartographic Monitoring Loadings Tools Target Assessment Data Mining Reporting • Models • HSPF - NPSM • QUAL2E • TOXIROUTE • Post-Processors Target Assess DM Decisions Watershed Management . TMDL . Source Water Protection . Stormwater State and Local Data

  9. National Hydro Data Programs National Elevation Dataset (NED) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) NED-Hydrology Watershed Boundary Dataset
