WCHYDRO and WBHYDRO together make up the most complete and up to date hydrography layer for the State of Washington. WCHYDRO contains watercourses represented as arcs or lines. These occur alone as single arc watercourses representing streams, ditches, or pipelines, or as centerlines through water body polygons such as double-banked streams, lakes, impoundments, reservoirs, wet areas, or glaciers. WCHYDRO and WBHYDRO are edited daily and simultaneously; updates are posted weekly for internal DNR use and monthly for external use. Attribute interrelationships within WCHYDRO and spatial and attribute interrelationships between WCHYDRO and WBHYDRO are maintained.
