Abstract: The USGS 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP) ArcGIS REST service (3DHP_all) from The National Map is the first of several data services that will be delivered by the 3D Hydrography Program. The 3DHP_all comprises a national network of flowlines, hydrolocations, and water bodies, and will include catchments, drainage areas, and flow network derivatives as they are populated in the future. The 3DHP_all service will provide access to a 3D-enabled geospatial hydrography vector dataset built from 3DHP data and intended to provide the most comprehensive but general rendering of 3DHP data. 3DHP data is derived from elevation-derived hydrography (EDH) Elevation-Derived Hydrography Specifications | U.S. Geological Survey (usgs.gov) where available. Where EDH has not been collected, 3DHP data will be supplemented by data from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) National Hydrography Dataset | U.S. Geological Survey (usgs.gov). As further EDH data is collected, the EDH data will replace the NHD data in that data collection area. 3DHP data ingested from EDH sources will include catchments, drainage areas derived from catchments, and flowline network attribute derivatives.For additional information on the 3DHP, go to https://www.usgs.gov/3dhp.See https://apps.nationalmap.gov/help/ for assistance with The National Map viewer, download client, services, or metadata.

When the process occurred: 2024T00:00:00
Description: NHD data were used to populate this initial 3DHP dataset.
Source:
Level of the source data: Elevation-Derived Hydrography (EDH) is a method used by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to create accurate water flow pattern maps and surface water datasets. EDH utilizes lidar and IFSAR data, human-built features, and landscape classifications. EDH was used for populating the hydrologic unit 19050401 in Alaska.

Level of the source data: NHD data was used for 3DHP 'national backbone', that is to get hydrologic coverage across the Nation. It was created in conjunction with the most current WBD, and 3DEP DEMs to create a hydro-enforced DEM for generation of the catchment raster and feature class, and flow direction/accumulation rasters, and used to compute and assign NHDFlowline Value Added Attributes (VAAs) in 3DHP (more details are available in the product's ReadMe file included as part of this dataset.)

Data quality report:
Completeness omission:
Measure produced by the test: Not all hydrologic features on the ground (e.g. stream/river, lake/pond, etc.) may be mapped, and changes may have occurred since originally mapped. The level of mapping detail varies by geographic area. The USGS jointly manages these data with local and regional data stewards, usually at the State level, and some variations in content occur based on differences in local/regional stewardship.
