1. Advisory Committee on Water Information Status report: Subcommittee on Spatial Water Data Herndon, VA September 10, 2003

2. Integration of key Spatial Water Datasets National Elevation DatasetNational Hydrography Dataset Watershed Boundary DatasetNED-Hydrology COMPLETE 30meter COMPLETE 1:100K IN PROGRESS 1:24K IN PROGRESS 1:24K IN PROGRESS 1:24K COMPLETE 30meter “surface water geospatial framework”

3. Subcommittee’s role  encourage  facilitate  review

4. 1/3 arc second NED

5. Interagency Development of a Reference Set of Watersheds for the United States WBD

6. Hydrologic Units 2-digit= 1st level = 22 regions 4-digit= 2nd level = 222 subregions 6-digit= 3rd level = 789 accounting 8-digit= 4th level = 2223 cataloging 10-digit= 5th level = ~22,000 watersheds 12-digit= 6th level = ~160,000 subwatersheds new! WBD Where are we?

8. Submittal Projections WBD VERIFICATION PROCESS

9. Funded Working Groups Salt Lake CityUSGS Ft. WorthNRCS SacramentoBOR PhiladelphiaEPA AtlantaUSGS EROS Data CenterUSGS

11. Problematic States Arizona: NRCS,USFS and BLM do not recognize need for 6 th Level Delineations. Idaho: Lack of in-kind funding. North Dakota: Inefficient process, minimal funding. Minnesota: Too much detail is being added well beyond the needs of the WBD. Estimated completion date at the current rate is 15 years. Plenty of funding, but have not been amenable to changing process. Louisiana: No local support. New York: Inefficient process, lack of coordination. New Jersey: Reluctant to modify existing dataset
