    "description": "LakeCat currently contains over 300 metrics that include local catchment (Cat), watershed (Ws), and special metrics. See Geospatial Framework and Terms in the ReadMe for definitions of the terms ‘catchment’ and ‘watershed’ as used with the LakeCat Dataset. An additional metric, inStreamCat, indicates whether the variable was pulled from the StreamCat Dataset or calculated with a geospatial framework that was developed for LakeCat.

These metrics are available for 378,088 lakes and their associated catchments across the conterminous US. LakeCat metrics represent both natural (e.g., soils and geology) and anthropogenic (e.g, urban areas and agriculture) landscape information.",

    "description": "This dataset represents the land cover data within individual local and accumulated upstream catchments for NHDPlusV2 Waterbodies based on the NLCD. Catchment boundaries in LakeCat are defined in one of two ways, on-network or off-network. The on-network catchment boundaries follow the catchments provided in the NHDPlusV2 and the metrics for these lakes mirror metrics from StreamCat, but will substitute the COMID of the NHDWaterbody for that of the NHDFlowline. The off-network catchment framework uses the NHDPlusV2 flow direction rasters to define non-overlapping lake-catchment boundaries and then links them through an off-network flow table. This data set is derived from the NLCD raster composed of 16 land cover classes (categorical data type) for the conterminous USA. Four classes of the NLCD were excluded as they were specific to Alaska land covers.  This raster was produced based on a decision-tree classification of 2001, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2011, 2013, 2016, and 2019 Landsat satellite data. This dataset will include additional years as they become available. ",
