Watershed
Information
Watersheds are
defined by a combination of the hydrology and topography of the landscape.
Watersheds are ubiquitous: no matter where you live, you live in a
watershed. The U.S. Geological Survey has provided a standardized
definition of watersheds that subdivide the country into 2,262 hydrologic
units or watersheds. These watersheds provide a common basis of discussion
for the public, planners, scientists and decisionmakers to deal with
water issues. The links below are intended to provide a roadmap to
these watersheds and the basic environmental data available describing
the changing conditions within the watershed. Although social and
economic data are not collected with respect to these natural boundaries,
current geographic information systems and advances in information
technology, allow reformatting these data sets into the common framework
of watersheds.

Specific
Information About Your Watershed
- Surf
Your Watershed
gives
the hydrologic definition of a watershed and helps you identify
your watersheds Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC). You can locate, use
and share environmental information about your watershed. Other
features include the Watershed Atlas,
a catalog of geo-spatial displays and analyses of information
and data important for watershed protection and restoration.
- Know
Your Watershed Conservation Technology Information
Centers (CTIC) allows you to get to know active watershed partners
in your watershed. Contains helpful hints on how to identify and
participate in existing partnerships to solve watershed problems.
- Hydrologic
Unit Maps Maps, spatial
data sets, and more from the U.S.Geological Survey

and Datasets
- WATERS:Through
WATERS you can extract shape files on waterbodies with data related
to TMDL listing, water quality inventories, current standards
for existing waterbodies, and meta data for these files.
