- Description:
- Abstract:
-
The DNR in cooperation with NRCS, USGS. DEQ and NGP delineated and computerized the boundaries of river basin areas needed for water resources planning and other uses. They have been integrated into the DNR's computer data systems so they are available to all with the facilities to access the Natural Resources Data Bank.
- Purpose:
-
Section 2-15,100 of the Nebraska statutes gives the DNR responsibility for conducting the State Water Planning and Review Process. The statutory purpose of the planning process is to coordinate and direct the planning efforts of the state agencies and the university divisions with responsibilities and interest in the water resources field. The statutes add that the process shall be designed to, among other things, develop and maintain the data, information, and analytical capabilities necessary to provide state agencies and other water interests with a support base for water planning and management activities. The basic river basin are an important part of the hydrologic section of that ormation support base.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Following precedents established over a period of many years by others, the State Water Plan divided the state into 13 river basins. Those boundaries were incorporated into the state statutes governing the DNR in 1973. Thirteen commissioners are now elected from 12 of those river basins, and 3 are appointed by the Governor. By statue, the river basins must be delineated on the Nebraska river basin map officially adopted by the Commission and on file in the NRC office. On December 13, 1990 the Commission adopted the system of basic units and the resulting river basin boundaries as the map required by Sec. 2-1504.

- Attribute_Accuracy:
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
Most of the original data was digitized from 7 1/2 quad maps where they were available. This digitized information was processed on a PC with a FORTRAN program and then plotted at 100% scale and overlayed on the original to verify the accuracy. Many checks were programmed into the FORTRAN program to help correct or identify inaccuracies. Other error checking and correcting was accomplished using visual inspection, Paradox 3.0 and Arc/Info 6.0 and later Arc/Info 7.0.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
Maps were generated and a 100% visual check was approved.
- Completeness_Report:
-
In most cases the information was digitized from 7 1/2 USGS quadrangles maps. In area were they were not complete or we did not have them, other maps were used such as the 15-minute series in Nebraska and the 1:250,00 and 1:500,000 series maps in areas of the states bordering Nebraska.
