Network topology and mainstem identifiers for the High Resolution National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) based initial 3D Hydrography Program Network

Description

This dataset contains the initial 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP) flow network topology which is based on the final High Resolution National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) and a set of mainstem river identifiers based on on the Medium resolution NHDPlus Version 2 (NHDPlusV2). The 3DHP flow network topology and mainstem identifiers contained in this data release add two key pieces of information to the flow table of the National Hydrography Dataset: 1) at every junction, one and only one main upstream and downstream connection have been identified 2) every "in network" flowline has been assigned a mainstem identifier that places it into a hierarchy of rivers and drainage basins. For description of 1 and 2 and additional background, see supplemental information. Files included: - HU6_mainstem_outlets.geojson Outlet locations of six-digit hydrologic units along mainstem network. - nhd_3dhp_conus_mainstems.zip Zipped csv table containing NHD CONUS permanent identifiers and mainstem URIs. - nhd_3dhp_conus_flownetwork.zip Zipped csv table containing from / to NHD permanent identifiers (from flowline to flowline) and upmain / downmain attributes. - nhd_3dhp_conus_vpu_membership.zip Zipped csv table containing NHD permanent identifiers and which VPU they belong in. - nhd_3dhp_oconus_mainstems.zip Zipped csv table containing NHD oconus permanent identifiers and mainstem URIs. - nhd_3dhp_oconus_flownetwork.zip Zipped csv table containing from / to NHD oconus permanent identifiers (from flowline to flowline) and upmain / downmain attributes. -3dhp_flownetwork.zip Zipped csv table containing from / to 3DHP identifiers (from flowline to flowline) and upmain / downmain attributes. - nhd_3dhp_nonnetwork_mainstems.zip Zipped csv table containing mainstem ids for features not included in the NHD flowtable. - nhd_final_registry.zip Zipped csv table containing all expected flowlines from the final NHD -- excludes geometry. - nhd_reachcode_mainstem.zip Zipped csv table containing a mapping between mainstem identifiers and NHD reachcodes. - nhd_3dhp_region_connections.zip Zipped csv table containing connections between vector processing unit regions defined by four digit hydrologic unit. - nhd_3dhp_mainstem_summary.zip Zipped csv table containing summary information about mainstems contained in nhd_3dhp_conus_mainstems.zip and nhd_3dhp_oconus_mainstems.zip.
