Stewart, USGS, written commun., 2011).  Only the basin boundaries that \nwere delineated within 15 percent of the basin area reported in the National \nWater Information System (NWIS) were included in this dataset.  This dataset \nonly includes streamgage basins in the lower 48 states and not in Alaska, \nHawaii, or Puerto Rico. The basin boundaries and streamgage locations are \nprovided in 18 shapefiles separated by 2-digit Hydrologic Unit Code. The USGS \nstreamgage station's identification number attached to each delineated polygon \ncan be linked to the attribute data found in Stewart and others (2006).  The \ndelineated watersheds were made from digital elevation models found in the \nNHDPlus data suite (version 1, 2006) and based on gage locations provided by \nStewart and others (2006).  These basins have been used in several USGS studies \nsuch as James Falcone's \"GAGES-II: Geospatial Attributes of Gages for Evaluating \nStreamflow\"  (2011) and Xiaodong Jian and others, \"WaterWatch-Maps, Graphs, and \nTables of Current, Recent, and Past Streamflow Conditions \" (2008).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9EZY2M6", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.6ef71a5d-0a10-4ed5-bf5b-14b904302529.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_6ef71a5d-0a10-4ed5-bf5b-14b904302529", "keyword": ["NHDPlus", "basins", "USGS:6ef71a5d-0a10-4ed5-bf5b-14b904302529", "streamgage", "watersheds", "inlandwaters"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-73.905846, 40.158460, -66.010949, 48.632201", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "USGS Streamgage NHDPlus Version 1 Basins 2011"}
