National watershed boundary (HUC12) dataset for the conterminous United States, retrieved 10/26/2020

Metadata Updated: November 29, 2023

This child item provides a snapshot of the watershed boundary dataset which consists of a shapefile with 87,020 12-digit hydrologic unit codes (HUC12) for the conterminous United States retrieved 10/26/2020. The National Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) is a comprehensive set of digital spatial data that represents the surface drainages areas of the United States. Although versions of the WBD are published as part of U.S. Geological Survey National Hydrography Products, the version used to produce the water-use reanalysis was not archived and is provided here. This dataset is part of a larger data release using machine learning to predict public supply water use for 12-digit hydrologic units from 2000-2020. Public-supply water use estimates for the HUC12s included in this shapefile are provided on the data release main landing page and on the public supply water use machine learning model child item. This page includes the following file: WBD_HUC12_CONUS_pulled10262020.zip - a zip file containing a shapefile with 12-digit hydrologic units in the conterminous United States
