Abstract
Indexing of Point Features to the NHD for Hydrologic Modeling
Track: Water Resources
Author(s): Budhendra Bhaduri, Phil Coleman, William Hargrove
Inclusion of point features (lakes, dams, monitoring/sampling stations) and their positional accuracy will have significant impact on successful utilization of the National Hydrographic Database (NHD) in hydrologic modeling exercises. This project attempts to index Community Water System (CWS) intake locations and the National Inventory of Dams (NID) to the NHD. A vastly automated assignment tool has been developed, which utilizes an algorithm to identify and assign individual CWS locations to appropriate NHD reaches. This paper will describe the development, implementation, and results of the model developed to georeference point features to the NHD.
