Local geodatabases for Puerto Rico StreamStats

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Puerto Rico Environmental Quality Board, has compiled a series of geospatial datasets for Puerto Rico to be implemented into the USGS StreamStats application (https://streamstats.usgs.gov/ss/). These geospatial datasets, along with basin characteristics datasets for Puerto Rico published as a separate USGS data release (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9HK9SSQ), were used to delineate watersheds and develop the peak-flow and low-flow regression equations used by StreamStats. The geospatial dataset described herein are the seven layers: Catchment, AdjointCatchment, DrainageLine, DrainagePoint, LongestFlowPathCat, LongestFlowPathAdjCat, and SinkWatershed, which are needed to delineate watersheds within the HUC-8 areas and calculate the longest flow path for watersheds. Data are partitioned into four geodatabases, one for each of the four 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) areas for Puerto Rico: 21010002, 21010003, 21010004, and 21010005.
