Abstract

NHDPlus High Resolution (NHDPlus HR) New Applications and Developments
Track: Water Resources
Authors: Pete Steeves

The USGS is adding new functionality for national hydrography mapping. This includes a web Markup Application to support updates to the National Hydrography Dataset, the NHDPlus High Resolution, and the Watershed Boundary Dataset. The new VisibilityFilter attribute will filter hydrography data to eight predefined scales. Also, the Network Linked Data Index is being developed to link water-related observations anywhere on the landscape and discover them through the hydrography network.
