Indiana’s National Hydrography Data Update Program • How can you help create a better Local-Resolution NHD? • By providing information about drainage features: • Does it have a name? • Is it perennial? Intermittent? Ephemeral? • Is it a stream or a ditch? • Which direction does it flow? • Is the geometry correct? • Does it flow underground? • Do you have stormwater data?
