Track: Water Resources
Authors: Lucinda McKay, Thomas Dewald

Satiate your appetite for the latest information on activities related to the new National Hydrography Dataset Plus Version 2 (NHDPlus2). NHDPlus2 was completed in October 2012, culminating a 2-year national production effort by the USEPA and USGS that incorporated many improvements identified by users of NHDPlus Version 1 during the preceding 5 years. The latest NHD stream network and WBD hydrologic boundaries were integrated with a much-improved National Elevation Dataset to produce a more-capable NHDPlus2 geofabric that will support a new generation of applications. Learn about high resolution NHDPlus pilots, integrating Z-values, WBD HUC12 network relationships, a growing list of flow estimation projects based upon NHDPlus2, and more.
