This dataset consists of stream definition 900 cell threshold rasters for each 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) area in Louisiana, one of the layer types needed to delineate watersheds within the HUC-8 areas, merged into a single dataset.. The 54 HUCs represented by this dataset are 03180004, 03180005, 08030100, 08040202, 08040205, 08040206, 08040207, 08040301, 08040302, 08040303, 08040304, 08040305, 08040306, 08050001, 08050002, 08050003, 08060100, 08070100, 08070201, 08070202, 08070203, 08070204, 08070205, 08070300, 08080101, 08080102, 08080103, 08080201, 08080202, 08080203, 08080204, 08080205, 08080206, 08090100, 08090201, 08090202, 08090203, 08090301, 08090302, 11140201, 11140202, 11140203, 11140204, 11140205, 11140206, 11140207, 11140208, 11140209, 11140304, 11140306, 12010002, 12010004, 12010005, and 12040201.

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 stream definition rasters with a 900 stream cell threshold at a 10-m resolution. The flow accumulation grid is used as input to create this dense stream grid. This requires a flow accumulation of 900 pixels or greater to initiate a stream channel. A value of 1 is assigned for all of the cells equal or greater than the threshold and no data for all other cells. Data are partitioned into four TIFF files, one for each of the four 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) areas for Puerto Rico: 21010002, 21010003, 21010004, and 21010005.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, and Susquehanna River Basin Commission, prepared hydro-conditioned geographic information systems (GIS) layers for use in the Pennsylvania StreamStats application.

This dataset consists of stream definition 900 cell threshold rasters for each 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) area in Pennsylvania, one of the layer types needed to delineate watersheds within the HUC-8 areas, merged into a single dataset.

This streamgage boundary layers dataset consists of 512 USGS streamgage point locations and polygons delineated to show their drainage areas. The drainage areas were delineated from the streamgage points functioning as pour points, in addition to the Flow Accumulation Raster for Maine StreamStats and Flow Direction Raster for Maine StreamStats in from this data release.

This dataset was produced in by the Delaware Geological survey in cooperation with the US Geological Survey and Delaware Department of Transportation for the purpose of calculating stream gage basin characteristics in preparation for the Delaware 2020 StreamStats application. These datasets are raster representations of various environmental, geological, and land use attributes within the Delaware StreamStats 2020 study area, and will be served in the Delaware StreamStats 2020 application to describe delineated watersheds. The StreamStats application provides access to spatial analytical tools that are useful for water-resources planning and management, and for engineering and design purposes. The map-based user interface can be used to delineate drainage areas, get basin characteristics and estimates of flow statistics, and more.

The geospatial dataset described herein are the stream definition rasters with a 150,000 stream cell threshold at a 10-m resolution. The flow accumulation grid is used as input to create the stream grid. This requires a flow accumulation of 150,000 pixels or greater to initiate a stream channel.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), calculated several basin characteristics as part of the updated New Jersey StreamStats 2022 application (U.S. Geological Survey, 2022). These datasets are raster representations of various environmental, geological, and land use attributes within the New Jersey StreamStats 2022 study area; they are applied in the New Jersey 2022 application to describe delineated watersheds. This update features improvements in base elevation resolution from 10 meters to 10 feet and stream centerline hydrography from 1:24,000 to 1:2,400, as well as resampling of previously existing datasets to match the 10-foot resolution. The sixteen 8-digit Watershed Boundary Dataset Hydrologic Unit Codes (HUCs) represented by these datasets are 02020007, 02030103, 02030104, 02030105, 02040101, 02040102, 02040103, 02040104, 02040105, 02040106, 02040201, 02040202, 02040203, 02040206, 02040301, and 02040302 (U.S. Geological Survey, 2016). The StreamStats application provides access to spatial analytical tools that are useful for water-resources planning and management, as well as engineering and design purposes. The map-based user interface can be used to delineate drainage areas, determine basin characteristics and estimate flow statistics, including instantaneous flood discharge, monthly flow-duration, and monthly low-flow frequency statistics for ungaged streams.
