Title: "Statewide 24K hydrography (polys)" (2006) Description: The North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis, in cooperation with the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, developed this digital hydrography dataset with Use Support information and water quality classifications to enhance planning, siting and impact analysis. This file enable users to identify surface water features which have special restrictions for building and development based on the locations of the features and their water quality classifications. Surface waters consist of streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, reservoirs, and shorelines. This file also enables users to determine whether a particular surface water is meeting its intended water quality uses. The linework is based on the USGS 1:24,000-scale Digital Line Graphs but has had additions from other sources as needed to include the hydrographic features in the stream classification codes. The data are updated as changes occur. This dataset was created to provide a large and diverse group of users a data resource of North Carolina surface waters to enhance planning for sustainable growth and assist governmental agencies in making resource management decisions through use of a Geographic Information System (GIS). | ||||
