Basin Characteristics Rasters for West Virginia StreamStats 2021
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has calculated over 25 different basin characteristics as part of preparing the West Virginia StreamStats 2021 application. These datasets are raster representations of various environmental, geological, and land use attributes within the West Virginia StreamStats 2021 study area. This study area was defined by Watershed Boundary HUC 8 digital data, and as such there is an area of about 70 square miles in the SE corner of WV is not included in these raster datasets as it drains towards Virginia. The basin characteristics data will be served in the West Virginia StreamStats 2021 application used to describe delineated watersheds. The StreamStats application provides access to spatial analytical tools that are useful for water-resources planning and management, and for engineering and design purposes. The map-based user interface can be used to delineate drainage areas, get basin characteristics, and estimates of flow statistics for data-collection stations and user-selected ungaged sites.
