Description:
Abstract:
The North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, in
cooperation with the NC Center for Geographic Information
and Analysis, developed the digital Water Supply Watersheds
data to enhance planning, siting and impact analysis in
areas directly affecting water supply intakes.
This file outlines the extent of protected and critical
areas and stream classifications for areas around water
supply watersheds in which development directly affects a
water supply intake.  This file enables users to identify
the areas which have special restrictions for building and
development based on water supply intakes. This file is
updated as changes occur.
Purpose:
This data was created to assist governmental agencies
and others in making resource management decisions
through use of a Geographic Information System (GIS).

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The NC DENR-Division of Water Quality delineated the
boundaries on 24k USGS paper topographic maps.  NCCGIA
digitized these boundaries and attributed them with DWQ
classification information, river basin and stream names,
and acres per polygon.  The digital files were plotted and
overlayed to the originals and linework and label corrections
were made. This digital file is updated as changes occur.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Using ESRI's ARC/INFO GIS software, the dataset was built for
arc and polygon topology using the "build" command. The data
set was then cleaned with a fuzzy tolerance of 1 foot.  Topology
has not been edited since the last build or clean.
Completeness_Report:
These data represent the locations and identities of Water
Supply Watersheds in North Carolina as mapped by the NCDWQ.
Each watershed is labeled with either a protected or critical
area classification.  All boundaries are approved by DWQ
whether they are the original DWQ boundaries or changes to
original boundaries submitted for revision by local or county
governments.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Water supply watershed boundaries were marked on 7.5
Minute USGS paper topographic maps which meet National
Map Accuracy Standards, using a best estimate with
reference to surrounding features. Ridge lines were
interpolated from contours by cartographers and reviewed
by DWQ staff.  Counties and municipalities have
restudied certain boundaries in detail for adjustment by
DWQ. Boundaries drawn were digitized and check plots used
to ensure correct boundary location, within a line width.

Digitization of the boundaries, and file updates.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Water supply watershed boundaries
were delineated by cartographers interpolating
ridgelines on paper USGS 7.5 minute topographic
maps. Boundaries were delineated around known water
supply intakes.  Intakes on streams or rivers
had critical areas delineated as ridgelines or half mile
buffers, whichever was closest, upstream of the intake
location.  Protected areas were delineated with ridgelines
or ten mile buffers, which ever was closer.  For intakes
on lakes and reservoirs, buffers were delineated from the
apparent pool elevation of the water body as shown on the
USGS quadrangle using the same limits as above. Boundaries
were reviewed by DWQ staff.  After the linework was
digitized by NCCGIA (see below), DWQ staff reviewed
the linework and attributes for accuracy. DWQ supplies
CGIA with updates as they occur.

Process_Description:
Water supply watersheds were digitized
from hand delineated water supply watershed boundaries
on USGS 7.5 Minute series paper basemaps.  The digital files
were attributed and checkplots were created for review by the
Water Quality Section. Necessary corrections were made and
new plots were run. Post processing involved edgematching
and mapjoining of USGS 7.5 Minute series maps used to
create the digitized data.  This process generated one
statewide polygon coverage.  Boundaries of the watersheds
throughout the state, in an effort to have them coincident
with the Hydrologic Units adopted earlier by ENR-DWQ
and USDA-NRCS, were replaced with the hydrologic units
Boundaries for the watersheds.  Boundaries coincident in
both coverages were deleted from the watershed file and
copied back from the hydrologic units file.  CGIA updates
the digital file as needed.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
A polygon coverage depicting areas classified by the
Division of Environmental Management as having either
protected or critical water supply watershed areas.  The
polygon attribute table (PAT) has attribute data including
total area in coverage units (square meters), total perimeter
(linear meters), polygon internal identification number,
polygon user identification number, a DWQ internal index
number that relates to the identification of the stream
which runs through the watershed, the classification of the
watershed, the river basin the watershed is contained in,
the name of the stream which runs through the watershed, the
classification date of the watershed, the DWQ internal grid
number that relates to the 7.5 minute USGS topographic map,
the type of watershed -whether (P)roposed or (C)ritical, and
the number of acres per polygon. There are no look up tables,
annotation or cartosets for this data.
