This basins dataset was created to initiate regional watershed approaches with respect to sewer rehabilitation.

If viewing this description on the Western Pennsylvania Regional Data Center’s open data portal (https://www.wprdc.org), this dataset is harvested on a weekly basis from Allegheny County’s GIS data portal (https://openac.alcogis.opendata.arcgis.com/). The full metadata record for this dataset can also be found on Allegheny County’s GIS portal. You can access the metadata record and other resources on the GIS portal by clicking on the “Explore” button (and choosing the “Go to resource” option) to the right of the “ArcGIS Open Dataset” text below.

See full Data Guide here.Major Drainage Basin Set: Connecticut Major Drainage Basins is 1:24,000-scale, polygon and line feature data that define Major drainage basin areas in Connecticut. These large basins mostly range from 70 to 2,000 square miles in size. Connecticut Major Drainage Basins includes drainage areas for all Connecticut rivers, streams, brooks, lakes, reservoirs and ponds published on 1:24,000-scale 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle maps prepared by the USGS between 1969 and 1984. Data is compiled at 1:24,000 scale (1 inch = 2,000 feet). This information is not updated. Polygon and line features represent drainage basin areas and boundaries, respectively. Each basin area (polygon) feature is outlined by one or more major basin boundary (line) feature. These data include 10 major basin area (polygon) features and 284 major basin boundary (line) features. Major Basin area (polygon) attributes include major basin number and feature size in acres and square miles. The major basin number (MBAS_NO) uniquely identifies individual basins and is 1 character in length. There are 8 unique major basin numbers. Examples include 1, 4, and 6. Note there are more major basin polygon features (10) than unique major basin numbers (8) because two polygon features are necessary to represent both the entire South East Coast and Hudson Major basins in Connecticut. Major basin boundary (line) attributes include a drainage divide type attribute (DIVIDE) used to cartographically represent the hierarchical drainage basin system. This divide type attribute is used to assign different line symbology to different levels of drainage divides. For example, major basin drainage divides are more pronounced and shown with a wider line symbol than regional basin drainage divides. Connecticut Major Drainage Basin polygon and line feature data are derived from the geometry and attributes of the Connecticut Drainage Basins data.

Watershed Planning Regions from the 2012 Update of the Oklahoma Comprehensive Water Plan. Data includes total square miles and acres for each basin/region and the stream water compact for each basin.

This layer includes polygon data showing the outline of the Colorado River Basin hydrological boundaries, with the Mexican hydrological boundaries comprising Baja California and Sonora. Areas that receive Colorado River water are also included and are based on the United States Bureau of Reclamation boundaries. The attributes included are:NameBasin (in which basin area is located)Shape Area (in square degrees of WGS 1984 Global Coordinate System)Shape Length (in degrees of WGS 1984 Global Coordinate System)

These represent the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) for the Columbia River Basin. WBD Levels 2 (Subregions) through 6 (Subwatersheds) are included. Also included is an outline of the Columbia Basin. These data were downloaded on 12/11/2017 from the USGS.

These geospatial data and their accompanying report outline many areas of coal in the United States beneath more than 3,000 ft of overburden. Based on depth, these areas may be targets for injection and storage of supercritical carbon dioxide. Additional areas where coal exists beneath more than 1,000 ft of overburden are also outlined; these may be targets for geologic storage of carbon dioxide in conjunction with enhanced coalbed methane production. These areas of deep coal were compiled as polygons into a shapefile for use in a geographic information system (GIS). The coal-bearing formation names, coal basin or field names, geographic provinces, coal ranks, coal geologic ages, and estimated individual coalbed thicknesses (if known) of the coal-bearing formations were included. An additional point shapefile, coal_co2_projects.shp, contains the locations of pilot projects for carbon dioxide injection into coalbeds. This report is not a comprehensive study of deep coal in the United States. Some areas of deep coal were excluded based on geologic or data-quality criteria, while others may be absent from the literature and still others may have been overlooked by the authors.

This outline of the Chesapeake Bay Basin boundary is based on the U.S. Geologiacl Suvey National Watershed Boundary Dataset. Watersheds in the Chesapeake Bay Basin were dissolved to create the basin boundary V2.

Groundwater subbasin delineation for analysis of existing and future planned groundwater use in the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin. The original shape file was created by Fugro West for the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin Study (2002) which was then provided to Todd Engineers by SLO County. It shows the outline of eight subbasins within the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin. Fugro (2002) states that it is important to note that the delineation of subbasins is for discussion purposes only, and should not be construed to represent formal hydrologic boundaries.

Paso Robles Groundwater Subbasin areas modified from Fugro et al groundwater modeling subbasin delineation.Original subbasin outlines were prepared by Fugro in 2002 but did not extend to the edge of the groundwater basin for modeling purposes. Todd Engineers traced the subbasins to new polygons extending to the edge of the basin for dynamic selection and analysis purposes.

Basin outline created from a variety of source data, most likely scales of 100k to 500k.
