Coordination of Indiana GIS through dissemination of data and data products, education and outreach, adoption of standards, and building partnerships IGIC and the Waters Workgroup IGIC’s - Waters Framework Dataset Workgroup Mission: To develop plans, standards, and technical implementation guidance for the IndianaMap hydrography framework data layers.

Coordination of Indiana GIS through dissemination of data and data products, education and outreach, adoption of standards, and building partnerships Advantages of Statewide Framework Data Statewide framework data allow for use at the local, regional, and state levels with no consistency problems sometimes associated with using data from multiple sources. edgematching, differently catagorized features, different scales, etc. enables modeling (waterflow) across political boundaries Enables users throughout the state to use the SAME data, regardless of application extent.

Coordination of Indiana GIS through dissemination of data and data products, education and outreach, adoption of standards, and building partnerships Project to Improve Indiana’s NHD Use 2005 and newer Orthophotography and LiDAR to correct the existence and the locations of physical features Data would be at scale of 1:2,400 or 1:1,200 and aligned to 2005 IndianaMap Orthophotography or better Inconsistencies between USGS quadrangles will be removed Naming of features will be improved Network connectivity and flow direction will be improved Result in statewide water flow model of 2005 or later water features, ensuring connectivity and modeling across community boundaries Statewide stream addressing system with linear referencing Correct & Upgrade NHD to Local Resolution

Coordination of Indiana GIS through dissemination of data and data products, education and outreach, adoption of standards, and building partnerships Improving Indiana’s NHD 1.Correct GNIS name errors in High-Resolution NHD (2011) 2.Create local resolution NHD 3.Load local resolution data into the national database, includes network topology for modeling 4.Load flowlines and waterbodies datasets into the IndianaMap for use and download Strategy to Correct Errors and Upgrade the NHD

Coordination of Indiana GIS through dissemination of data and data products, education and outreach, adoption of standards, and building partnerships NHD Upgrade Project Status Phase 1, 30 Subbasins Currently underway Funded by Office of Community and Rural Affairs, Disaster Recovery Funds Goal for completion of Phase 1 is Dec 2013

Coordination of Indiana GIS through dissemination of data and data products, education and outreach, adoption of standards, and building partnerships Results: Increase in Number of Features High-Res in RED Local Res in BLUE 49% increase in acres of waterbodies 134% increase in acres of areas 409% increase in miles of flowlines

Coordination of Indiana GIS through dissemination of data and data products, education and outreach, adoption of standards, and building partnerships Results: Improved Alignment High Res / RED Local / YELLOW

Coordination of Indiana GIS through dissemination of data and data products, education and outreach, adoption of standards, and building partnerships Continued Stewardship Critical to providing a statewide dataset that can be beneficial to users across the state at all levels Identify individuals and organizations that can help as sub-stewards for their areas of interest Provide tools for sub-stewards to easily submit corrections o Names of features...may require new names in GNIS o Classifications, e.g. perennial, intermittent, ditch, etc. o Presence or locations of features ….……………………….more from Phil later Maintenance after the Upgrade
