Water Resources Database Advisory Committee
Nebraska Watershed Boundary Database Working Group 

Authorizing Motion - Passed by Nebraska GIS Steering Committee on 9/5/02

The Water Resources Database Advisory should be re-activated and charged with studying the current sub-watershed delineations (8-digit HUCs), along with the new proposed Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) [otherwise known as 5th (10 digit) and 6th (12 digit) level hydrologic units or Hydrologic Unit Codes (HUCs)]. NRCS, USGS, DEQ, DAg, NDNR, NGPC, NRDs and other interested local, state and federal interested parties will be invited to participate in this effort and they will choose a lead agency to convene and chair the Advisory Committee.  The Advisory Committee will study the merits of the proposed WBD program and report back to the Steering Committee with recommendations.  If the program finds support by the participating agencies, the Steering Committee will be asked to endorse the project.

Sample EDNA Watershed Data for Lincoln Area

Click here to got to the EDNA (Elevation Derivatives for National Applications) site.  The link to Lincoln is under the applications drop-down (133 Urban Areas - Lincoln).  On the linked page find the reference to "Access" section and use the link to "133 Urban Areas Project" and for the network security dialogue box enter "city" for user and "120" for the password.  Please keep in mind that the EDNA site is draft and may have incomplete content. There is a tool at the bottom of the tool list in the map service that will let you click any point and read out the elevation value. It is useful when trying to figure out why the EDNA catchments and lines come out the way they do.
