Description:

Abstract:

This is a statewide polygon layer in which each polygon has a unique Water Body Identification number (WBID). The assessment units are drainage basins, lakes, lake drainage areas, springs, rivers and streams, segments of rivers and streams, coastal, bay and estuarine waters in Florida. The polygons roughly delineate the drainage basins surrounding the water body assessment units. The WBIDs are used in the Basin Rotation Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program as well as other applications. WBIDs are assigned a FDEP district as part of their attribution. There are multiple instances where a WBID may be assigned to an FDEP district, but physically fall within the boundary of a different district. This is because WBIDs are grouped together into basins called Planning Units and there are instances where a Planning Unit basin will fall across FDEP district boundaries. In these cases, for consistency's sake, all the WBIDs that are in the Planning Unit will be assigned to the same FDEP district. For information on which district the WBID physically falls in, please refer to the FDEP Regulatory Districts layer. This is an update to the FGDL layer WBIDS_JUN09.

Purpose:

To spatially represent the water feature that is being assessed.

Process_Description:

The Watershed Rotation Groups and Schedule (Proposed) coverage was created from the drainage basins coverage (basin-24 (area)). The watershed groups were created by unioning the drainage basins in the basin-24 cover. The watershed groups generally follow the boundaries of the USGS 8-digit HUCS.
(Creation of the basin-24 (area) dataset) In Spring of '97, the data was converted from NAD27 to HPGN using the Arc/INFO projection command within Arc/INFO version 7.0.4.
One coverage of the entire state, excluding South Florida was digitized using ARC/INFO. The South Florida coverage was digitized by SFWMD from USGS mylars of 7.5' quads dated 1978-1979 by engineers familiar with the landscape using ARC/INFO 6.1.1. The two coverages were joined to form a statewide coverage using the update command, then polygon slivers were eliminated. Check plots were made. The coverage was converted to Albers Conformal Area projection and exported from the VAX VMS system using ARC/INFO. On the DEC/ALPHA UNIX system, the export file was imported and inserted into the (quad) library. Since the original creation of the WBIDS spatial dataset recommended changes to the linework by basin rotation staff and outside professionals have been incorporated on a case by case basis. These changes are documented in the CHANGES column of the dataset. During August of 2003 the ARC coverage was converted into a Geodatabase to facilitate the editing process in ARCGIS. Geodatabase is joined to Access IWR database to get information in specific waterbodies.

Distribution_Liability:

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
