National Hydrography Dataset
A comprehensive set of digital spatial data
that contains information about: naturally occurring and constructed
bodies of water natural and artificial paths through which
water flows related hydrographic entities.

NHD Stewards
• The NHD is a living dataset• Revision updates needed• Quality updates needed• Organizations closest to the hydrography are most aware of ground truth• Such organizations should have the opportunity to serve as stewards• The USGS will assist
