Moving to High Resolution NHD Seminar

[ no slides ] [ no video ]

The NHD, while originally based on 1:100,000-scale linework, is designed to incorporate high-resolution data. USGS is developing ArcInfo and ArcView based tools that will allow partners to create NHD data using other sources of linework. This workshop will provide an in-depth description of the various steps in the process. Major steps include: pre-conflation, which creates a watershed based, connected network with arcs directed downstream and centerlines; conflation, which transfers the appropriate information from the 1:100,000-scale NHD; and post-conflation which validates the flow direction attributes and creates all the necessary tables that are part of the NHD. The tools will be demonstrated and examples of interactive processes will be shown. Sorry, no hands on data creation so don't bring your data and hope to leave with a complete high-resolution NHD dataset.
