Description:

Abstract:
This geospatial dataset is a hydrologic boundary layer containing nested hydrologic unit boundaries. The standard allows for mapping to the (16-digit) level. The dataset was developed by delineating the boundary lines on 1:24,000 base maps and digitizing the delineated lines. Digital Elevation Model data was used in part of the process to establish preliminary boundaries.
This data set consists of geo-referenced digital map data and associated attributes. The hydrologic unit code attached to each delineated polygon is linked to the attribute data, which can contain information on area in acres, non-contributing area, state(s) the HU falls within, name for 7th and 8th level HU, 5th and 6th level code for downstream hydrologic unit, and hydrologic unit modifications. Each line has attributes that describe the HU level (1-8), originating source for that line and a metadata ID number that links the line to its associated metadata file.

Purpose:
The watershed and subwatershed hydrologic unit boundaries provide a uniquely identified and uniform method of subdividing large drainage areas. These smaller sized hydrologic units (up to 250,000 acres) are useful in many programs supported by the NRCS and others.
This data set is intended as a tool for water-resource management and planning activities, particularly for site-specific and localized studies, which require the amount of detail provided by a large-scale map.

Supplemental Information:
Maintenance Coverage versus Distribution Coverage Two separate coverages exist for the Hydrologic Unit Layer dataset: the publicly distributed coverage (referred hereafter as Distribution) and the maintenance coverage (referred hereafter as Maintenance).

The Distribution coverage is available to all users for query and analysis purposes and includes the Polygon Attribute Table, the Arc Attribute Table and all region feature classes, e.g. PATHUC1 PATHUC8. The Distribution coverage uses the following naming convention: HU_BOUNDARY. This dataset can be downloaded at http://hydro.reo.gov.

The Maintenance coverage is to be checked out for editing purposes using the Interim HU Guidelines and includes the Polygon Attribute and Arc Attribute Tables only. The Maintenance coverage uses the following naming convention: HU<mm/dd/yy>, e.g. HU082203. This dataset and the interim HU Guidelines can be downloaded at http://hydro.reo.gov.

Access Constraints: None
Use Constraints:
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, should be acknowledged as the data source in products derived from these data. These data should not be used at scales greater than 1:24,000.
This is public information and may be interpreted by organizations, agencies, units of government, or others based on needs; however they are responsible for the appropriate application of the data. Federal, state, or local regulatory bodies are not to reassign to the Natural Resources Conservation Service any authority for the decisions they make. The Natural Resources Conservation Service will not perform any evaluations of these maps or purposes related solely to State or local regulatory programs. Photographic or digital enlargement of these maps to scales greater than that at which they were originally delineated can cause misrepresentation of the data. If enlarged, the maps will not include the fine detail that would be appropriate for mapping at the small scale. Digital data files are periodically updated. Files are dated, and users are responsible for obtaining the latest version of the data.

Process Step:

Process Description:
Hydrologic units were incorporated into this dataset from an aggregate of pre-existing HU?s.
A number of new Hydrological Unit Boundaries were delineated using flow lines and basins computed from 10- and 30-meter horizontal resolution Digital Elevation data based on flow derived from the elevation grid to determine potential pour points.

The DEM data is derived from hypsography represented on 1:24000 USGS topographic quadrangles.

Additional hydrography data was used as a template to control pourpoint locations for the delineated HU?s.

When combined with the 6th level code, the full Hydrologic Unit Code in the above example would be 17100203020901XX.

Overview Description:

Entity and Attribute Overview:
The hydrologic Unit Boundaries coverage contains attributes for polygons, arcs and eight Arc/Info regions. Hydrologic Unit delineations are closed polygons that encompass all area draining toward the lowest point (called pour point) in the polygon. Because of nominal sizes for the different hydrologic unit level: Watershed (40,000 to 250,000 acres) and Subwatershed (generally 10,000 to 40,000 acres), some polygons do not include all areas up to the drainage divide but all areas to one or more other upstream hydrologic units. A unique hydrologic unit code is used to identify each hydrologic unit. The hydrologic unit codes start with the 8-digit Sub-basin (sub-basin) number that contains the Watershed. Likewise the Subwatershed hydrologic unit codes start with the 10-digit Watershed number that contains the Subwatershed. Attributes associated with a hydrologic unit code includes: ACRES, HUC_NUM, HUC_TYPE, REGION_NAME, SUBREGION_NAME, BASIN_NAME, SUBBASIN_NAME, WATERSHED_NAME, SUBWAT_NAME, CATCHMENT_NAME, SUBCATCH_NAME, OLD_HUCNUM, STATES, NCONTRIB_DA, DS_HUC5, DS_HUC6, HUC_MOD, COMMENT, REGION, SUBREGION, BASIN, SUBBASIN, WATERSHED, SUBWAT, CATCHMENT, SUBCATCH, FIRST_FIELD, SECOND_FIELD, THIRD_FIELD, FOURTH_FIELD, FIFTH_FIELD, SIXTH_FIELD, SEVENTH_FIELD, EIGHTH_FIELD, HUC_LEVEL, LINESOURCE, LINEVER, LINEDATE, LINEORG, METADATA_ID, COMMENT.
