Essential GIS Data Sources for Effective Water Resource Management

This comprehensive guide by David R. Maidment and David G. Tarboton outlines key GIS data sources for water resources, highlighting tools and datasets essential for hydrology, watershed management, and water quality assessment. It covers resources such as the National Hydrologic Dataset (NHDPlus), National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD), and precipitation data from PRISM, among others. By integrating real-time and historical water data, this information aids in informed decision-making for watershed management, TMDL, and source water protection. Access these resources to enhance your water management strategies.
