WATERS Web Services Public facing Web services for creating and applying NHD events and NHDPlus, including mapping services –Enhanced from DB and SOAP to HTTP/REST –Code playground and javascript library –Transparency and efficiency for developers Visit Performance concerns with EPA IT infrastructure!

Access to framework geospatial datasets stored in the WATERS Database and to general purpose interactive service panels. Dialog boxes providing access to tools, services, and information, such as NHD feature name query, total waters, up/downstream navigation, watershed reports, ATTAINS reports, etc. Access to indexed water program features, with hyperlinks to additional attributes, and context sensitive analysis services, such as up/downstream navigation and watershed reports.
