Description:
Abstract:
This data set is a complete digital hydrologic unit boundary layer to the Subwatershed (12-digit) 6th level for the State of Florida. This data set consists of geo-referenced digital data and associated attributes created in accordance with the "FGDC Proposal, Version 1.0 - Federal Standards For Delineation of Hydrologic Unit Boundaries 3/01/02"(<http://www.ftw.nrcs.usda.gov/huc_data.html>). Polygons are attributed with hydrologic unit codes for 4th level sub-basins, 5th level watersheds, 6th level subwatersheds, name, size, downstream hydrologic unit, type of watershed, non-contributing areas and flow modification. Arcs are attributed with the highest hydrologic unit code for each watershed, linesource and a metadata reference file.
Purpose:
The Watershed and Subwatershed hydrologic unit boundaries provide a uniquely identified and uniform method of subdividing large drainage areas. The smaller sized 6th level sub-watersheds (up to 40,000 acres) are useful for numerous application programs supported by a variety of local, State, and Federal Agencies. This data set is intended to be used as a tool for water-resource management and planning activities, particularly for site-specific and localized studies requiring a level of detail provided by large-scale map information. The dataset will be appended to a larger seamless nationally consistant geospatial database as other states complete their portion of the watershed boundary dataset.

The distributor shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of this data, based on the description of appropriate/inappropriate uses described in this metadata document. It is strongly recommended that this data is directly acquired from the distributor and not indirectly through other sources which may have changed the data in some way. These data should not be used at scales greater than 1:24,000 for the purpose of identifying hydrographic watershed boundary feature locations in 7. 5 should be acknowledged as the data source in products derived from these data. The 7 Watershed Boundary Dataset is public information and may be interpreted by all organizations, agencies, units of government, or others based on needs; however, they are responsible for the appropriate application of the data. Federal, State, or local regulatory bodies are not to reassign to the Natural Resources Conservation Service any authority for the decisions they make. The Natural Resources Conservation Service will not perform any evaluations of these maps or purposes related solely to State or local regulatory programs. Photographic or digital enlargement of these maps to scales greater than that at which they were originally delineated can result in misrepresentation of the data. If enlarged, the maps will not include the fine detail that would be appropriate for mapping at the small scale. Digital data files are periodically updated. Files are dated, and users are responsible for obtaining the latest version of the data from the source distributor.

Attribute_Label: TNMID
Attribute_Definition:
(short for The National Map Identification) is a unique 40-character field that identifies each element in the database exclusively. TNMID is an automatically assigned code that stays with each element. When an element is updated or changed, TNMID links the element to the metadata record and documents the change. TNMID is also used to maintain relationship classes in the normalized data model. When an element is deleted or split, TNMID stays with the original element and is not used again. When an element is split, new permanent identifiers are assigned to the resultant parts.

Attribute_Label: AREAACRES
Attribute_Definition:
Common to all polygon feature classes and is calculated at the 12-digit hydrologic unit from the intrinsic area value maintained by the GIS software; therefore, acreage values may vary from user calculations, depending on the projection of the data. North American Albers Equal Area Conic, North American Datum 1983 is the required projection to use for calculation. If the units of the area field are stored in square meters, then use the conversion factor 0.0002471. For example, 40,469,446 square meters multiplied by 0.0002471 = 10,000 acres.

Attribute_Domain_Values:
Enumerated_Domain:
Enumerated_Domain_Value: S
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
“Standard” hydrologic unit — An area with drainage flowing to a single outlet point, excluding noncontributing areas. Some examples include “true,” “classic,” “composite,” and “remnant” hydrologic units (section 3.5.1).
Enumerated_Domain:
Enumerated_Domain_Value: C
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
“Closed Basin” hydrologic unit — A drainage area where all surface flow is internal (100 percent noncontributing); no overland flow leaves the hydrologic unit through the outlet point (section 3.5.2).
Enumerated_Domain:
Enumerated_Domain_Value: F
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
“Frontal” hydrologic unit — An area along the coastline of a lake, ocean, bay, etc., that has more than one outlet. These hydrologic units are predominantly land with some water areas at or near the outlet(s) (section 3.5.2).
Enumerated_Domain:
Enumerated_Domain_Value: M
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
“Multiple Outlet” hydrologic unit — An area that has more than one natural outlet; for example, an outlet located on a stream with multiple channels. This does not include frontal or water hydrologic units, hydrologic units with artificial inter¬basin transfers, drainage outlets through karst or groundwater flow, or outlets that cross a stream with an island. This code should be used only in rare instances.
Enumerated_Domain:
Enumerated_Domain_Value: W
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
“Water” hydrologic unit — An area that is predomi¬nantly water with adjacent land areas; for example, a lake, estuary, or harbor (section 3.6).
Enumerated_Domain:
Enumerated_Domain_Value: I
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
“Island” hydrologic unit — An area that is one or more islands and adjacent water (section 3.6.4).
Attribute:
Attribute_Label: HUMOD
Attribute_Definition:
The 10-digit hydrologic unit modification attribute is a two-character, uppercase abbreviation(s) for either (1) the type of modification to natural overland flow that alters the natural delineation of a 10-digit hydrologic unit or (2) the special conditions GF-groundwater flow, GL-glacier, IF-ice field, KA- karst, and NC-noncontributing area. The value of the HUMod field helps to indicate where the modification to the 10-digit hydrologic unit is located. If more than one abbreviation is used, then separate them by commas without spaces and list them from most to least predominant. There are future plans to derive this field at the 10-digit unit from the information on the HUMod from the lines and the HUMod at the 12-digit unit upon check in. Once that process is in place the content will be overwritten. Previous versions of this guideline did not provide the same number of modification choices — check metadata or contact the principal WBD In-State Steward for more information.

Attribute_Label: TOHUC
Attribute_Definition:
The 12-digit hydrologic unit ToHUC code attribute is the code for the 12-digit hydrologic unit that is downstream from and naturally receives the majority of the flow from another 12-digit hydrologic unit. For special cases when a downstream code cannot be assigned, identify which of these exceptions applies: If a hydrologic unit flows into an ocean or the Gulf of Mexico, then populate this field with the value “OCEAN.” If a hydrologic unit drains into either Canada or Mexico, then use the appropriate value “CANADA” or “MEXICO.” If a hydrologic unit is a closed basin, then populate this field with the value “CLOSED BASIN.

Attribute_Label: NONCON_AC
Attribute_Definition:
The noncontributing area attribute represents the area, in acres, of hydrologic units that do not contribute to downstream accumulation of streamflow under normal flow conditions (section 3.5.3). If a noncontributing area is on the boundary between two or more hydrologic units, then determine the low point along the noncontributing area boundary, and associate the noncontributing area with the hydrologic unit adjacent to the low point on the boundary. The value is the total acreage of the noncontributing areas within a hydrologic unit. North American Albers Equal Area Conic, North American Datum 1983 is the required projection to use for calculation. If the units of the area field are stored in square meters, then use the conversion factor 0.0002471.
