Indiana’s National Hydrography Data Update

ProgramHow 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?
