The NHDPlus Version 1.0 is an integrated suite of application-ready geospatial data sets that incorporate many of the best features of the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) and the National Elevation Dataset (NED). The NHDPlus includes a stream network (based on the 1:100,000-scale NHD), improved networking, naming, and \"value-added attributes\" (VAA's). NHDPlus also includes elevation-derived catchments (drainage areas) produced using a drainage enforcement technique first broadly applied in New England, and thus dubbed \"The New-England Method\". This technique involves \"burning-in\" the 1:100,000-scale NHD and when available building \"walls\" using the national Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD). The resulting modified digital elevation model (HydroDEM) is used to produce hydrologic derivatives that agree with the NHD and WBD. An interdisciplinary team from the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), and contractors, over the last two years has found this method to produce the best quality NHD catchments using an automated process. The VAAs include greatly enhanced capabilities for upstream and downstream navigation, analysis and modeling. Examples include: retrieve all flowlines (predominantly confluence-to-confluence stream segments) and catchments upstream of a given flowline using queries rather than by slower flowline-by-flowline navigation; retrieve flowlines by stream order; subset a stream level path sorted in hydrologic order for stream profile mapping, analysis and plotting; and, calculate cumulative catchment attributes using streamlined VAA hydrologic sequencing routing attributes. The VAAs include results from the use of these cumulative routing techniques, including cumulative drainage areas, precipitation, temperature, and land cover distributions. Several of these cumulative attributes are used to estimate mean annual flow and velocity as part of the VAAs. NHDPlus contains a snapshot (2005) of the 1:100,000-scale NHD that has been extensively improved. While these updates will eventually make their way back to the central NHD repository at USGS, this will not have happened prior to distribution of NHDPlus because the update process for the central NHD repository is still in development. Consequently, the NHDPlus will contain some temporary database keys and, as a result, NHDPlus users may not make updates to the NHD portions of NHDPlus with the intent of sending these updates back to the USGS. Once the NHDPlus updates have been posted to the central NHD repository, a fresh copy of the improved data can be downloaded from the central NHD repository and that copy will be usable for data maintenance. Note that the NHDPlus products are tightly integrated and user modifications to the underlying NHD can compromise this synchronization.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "hasVersionedData": false, "hasArchivedData": false, "hasBranchVersionedData": false, "supportsDisconnectedEditing": false, "supportsDatumTransformation": true, "supportsReturnServiceEditsOption": true, "returnServiceEditsHaveSR": true, "supportsQueryDataElements": true, "datesInUnknownTimezone": false, "supportsRelationshipsResource": true, "syncEnabled": false, "supportedExportFormats": "sqlite,filegdb", "extractChangesCapabilities": { "supportsReturnIdsOnly": false, "supportsReturnExtentOnly": false, "supportsReturnAttachments": false, "supportsLayerQueries": false, "supportsGeometry": false, "supportsFeatureReturn": false, "supportsReturnHasGeometryUpdates": false }, "supportedQueryFormats": "JSON", "maxRecordCount": 2000, "maxRecordCountFactor": 1, "capabilities": "Query,Extract", "description": "

However this was not always possible for the following reasons. 1. In two cases the line work provided by the USGS NHDPlus incorrectly crossed over a ridge into another watershed creating a stream connection that didn\u2019t exist. In both cases the incorrect line work was corrected by removing the connection to the stream in the neighboring watershed and confining the incorrect segment to the correct watershed. 2. In several cases the configuration of the stream network was incorrect. In these cases the line work was altered to reflect current drainage patterns. In both cases new splits to the original line work had to be introduced to the data, which may render the data unsuitable for some of the USGS stated purposes. In some cases data from outside the scope of the Sonoma Veg Map LiDAR data coverage area was added where it provided a logical extension or connection to the stream network in the project area. In general these additions do not have the same spatial accuracy as the LiDAR derived data.\n\nThe geospatial data sets included in NHDPlus are intended to support a variety of water-related applications. They already have been used in an application to develop estimates of mean annual streamflow and velocity for each NHD flowline in the conterminous United States. The results of these analyses are included with the NHDPlus data. \n\nA water-quality model developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) called SPARROW (Spatially Referenced Regressions on Watershed Attributes), can utilize the NHDPlus network functionality to track the downstream transport of nutrients, sediments, or other substances. NHDPlus water bodies and estimates of streamflow and velocity are used in SPARROW to identify reservoir retention and in-stream loss factors. NHDPlus climatic and land surface attributes can be used in SPARROW to identify potential factors in the delivery of nutrients from the land surface to streams. NHDPlus land cover information is useful for SPARROW in determining potential sources of nutrients. \n\nNHDPlus data is also being used in select areas for a USGS Web-based application, called StreamStats. StreamStats provides tools to interactively select any point on the NHDPlus to obtain streamflow and watershed characteristics for the selected point. \n\nNHDPlus has been designed to accommodate many users needs for future applications. NHDPlus provides the framework and tools necessary to customize the behavior of the network relationships as well as building upon the attribute database, for which the user can assign its own data to the network.\n\nThese have been rectified to the Sonoma Veg Map project's LiDAR. Wherever possible features are being rectified to the stream channel as shown on the bare earth hydro Digital Elevation Model. In some cases the LiDAR was unable to penetrate the stream over canopy and in these cases a best guess is made. Such cases are noted on a feature by feature basis.", "Category": "", "Keywords": "Stream / River,Lake / Pond,Canal / Ditch,Reservoir,Spring / Seep,Swamp / Marsh,Artificial Path,Reach,GEODATA,GIS,USGS,National Hydrography Dataset,NHD,NHDPlus,Stream flow,Stream velocity,Spatially Referenced Regressions on Watershed Attributes,SPARROW,StreamStats,Water-quality,Hydrologic modeling,River Coding Systems,Hydrography,inlandWaters." }, "supportsQueryDomains": true, "supportsQueryContingentValues": true, "layers": [ { "id": 0, "name": "LiDAR Streams", "parentLayerId": -1, "defaultVisibility": true, "subLayerIds": null, "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 0, "type": "Feature Layer", "geometryType": "esriGeometryPolyline" } ], "tables": [], "relationships": [], "enableZDefaults": false, "allowUpdateWithoutMValues": false, "supportsVCSProjection": true, "referenceScale": 0 }
