Hydrologic Soil Group for the Upper Colorado River Basin in Daymet Climate Data resolution (hsg_UCRB_Daymet_resolution.txt)

Description

hsg_UCRB_Daymet_resolution.txt is an Esri ASCII grid representing the hydrologic soil group (HSG) for the
Upper Colorado River Basin. The HSG for an area is determined by the least water-transmitting layer in the
soil column. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) classifies four HSGs from Group A
(high infiltration capacity and low overland flow potential) to Group D (low infiltration capacity and high
overland flow potential). In Soil-Water Balance recharge simulations, a lookup table incorporates HSG
and land-cover information for each grid cell to define unique runoff curve numbers, vegetation rooting
depths, interception values, and maximum daily recharge values.
