- Abstract
- The goal of this project is to attribute hydrography features within the state of Wisconsin. Some features in Wisconsin have watersheds that include areas outside of the state. Examples of this include the Nemadji drainage in Minnesota and the entire Mississippi River. We included necessary out-of-state features whenever possible in order to have complete watershed coverage. We also included all out-of-state features that are within HUC12s that cross the Wisconsin border. This latter inclusion allowed for more accurate watershed delineations. Because we delineated sheds within HUC12 boundaries, it was important to have all possible features included in delineations so that no feature was assigned an overly large watershed. The major exceptions to the out-of-state inclusions were for four major boundary rivers: the St. Louis, St. Croix (along the state border, not the inland portion), Mississippi, and Menominee. We did not include out of state features that flow into these rivers because 1) we are not as interested in attributing these large rivers and 2) there would be a substantial number of additional out-of-state features that would need to be obtained in order to attribute these rivers. The database only has base attribution and channel-level attribution for these features.
- Purpose
- This project attributed channel, riparian, and watershed level data for streams in the 24K hydrogeodatabase (24KGDB) with a variety of geologic, land cover, and other base data. The immediate goal of this project was to provide fine-resolution stream attribute data to be used to model stream flows and fish distributions. However, there are several general outputs of the project that can be useful for many projects. First, most features in the 24kGDB are attributed with data at six scales- the stream channel, traces from the stream channel to other features (such as lakes), in a 60-m riparian buffer around features, traces along all upstream buffers, in the watershed surrounding features and traces along all upstream watersheds. Second, the stream, riparian and watershed layers are available so that additional data can be attributed to them. For example, updated land cover data could be attributed to the watershed rasters and this information could be added to the overall attribution. Third, data on the topology between features has been generated. This makes it possible for new traces to be done and to identify the general to-from connectivity of all features. Last, tools have been developed that, with some minimal customization, will allow for changes in the 24KGDB to be incorporated into updates. These tools could also potentially be used to undertake a similar project across another large region. Further documentation of the tools can be found in the Tutorial for the 1:12K Hydrography Creation Toolset.
