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 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 has 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.
