Florida Water Management District (WMD) Cumulative Impact Basins

Description based on the metadata provided by the WMDs. NWFWMD: Watershed Delineation for NWFWMD. Custodian - Danny Layfield. The Northwest Florida Water Management District maintains the following GIS Data Dictionary as a public service, by granting the public and government agencies access to the Districts GIS data. Data is provided on an "as is" basis. In no event will the District or its staff be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or other damages, including loss of profit, arising out of the use of these data even if the District has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The spatial datasets are provided as zipped (.zip) ESRI shapefiles or geodatabases. The data are provided in UTM Zone 16N / NAD 83, map units meters http://www.nwfwmd.state.fl.us/data-publications/gis-mapping/gis-data-directory SRWMD: Hydrography basin major. USGS24 "SBAS" was orginally created by USGS as part of a cooperative effort between the USGS and DEP to create a statewide basin or watershed map. SRWMD has modified and added some watersheds because of local knowledge and needs of the District. A number of items have also been added to the coverage. Surfacewater watersheds are topographic land features which contain a unique hydrologic area of surface drainage. Suwannee River Water Management has choosen to call this a watershed map instead of a basin map as previously called. These spatial data sets provide SRWMD and other government agencies with a consolidated resource for watershed information at various levels of geographic extent. The data sets are intended to support watershed analysis, planning, permitting, regulatory, and other functions at SRWMD. They have been edited and modified by the District to reflect better information available at the regional level, and to better meet the specific needs of the GIS users at SRWMD. A guide to the Watershed coverage is available from SRWMD at md_lib/basins/items.doc. A spreadsheet that expains the attribution of both the polygon and arc attribute tables is also located at md_lib/basins/sbas_items.doc.

It was created in Arc/Info, using the SJRWMD surface water drainage basins layer as a guideline. The swbasins were combined and shifted in places, to delineate ecology based areas for regulatory mitigation review. The changes came from a Board-appointed Advisory Committee and were approved by the Board and adopted by rule. The coverage corresponds to the basin boundaries found in the ERP Applicant's Handbook in Figure 12.2.8-1 and Appendix M. This is a special layer created specifically for regulatory purposes; it is distinct from the standard SJRWMD Surface Water Drainage Basins Layer. This layer mitig basin reg is to delineate ecologically based areas for regulatory mitigation review. This data reflects all Mitigation Basin changes approved by the Governing Board and effective as of November 5, 2008.

This layer should be used for cartographic and resource management purposes. Watershed boundaries used in the Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) program. These boundaries were derived from the DBASINS coverage. These data were not collected under the supervision of a licensed Professional Surveyor and Mapper. Use of these data requires a general understanding of GIS. The data are being provided on an 'as is' basis. The District specifically disclaims any warranty, expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties or merchantability and fitness for a particular use. The entire risk as to quality and performance is with the user. In no event will the District or its staff be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or other damages, including loss of profit, arising out of the use of these data even if the District has been advised of the possibility of such damages. All data are intended for resource management use.
