Select Hydrologic Modification Attributes: National Inventory of Dams (NID) Storage and Construction by Decade, 1930 to 2010
This tabular data set contains decadal information on dams compiled for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. This dataset can be linked to the NHDPlus version 2 data suite by the unique identifier COMID. The source data for dam information was produced by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The information provided here contains the number of dams (both major and minor), dam storage (acre feet) and decade of construction compiled as described above. Reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale. Reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network characterizes cumulative upstream conditions. Network-accumulated values are computed using two methods, 1) divergence-routed and 2) total cumulative drainage area. Both approaches use a modified routing database to navigate the NHDPlus reach network to aggregate (accumulate) the metrics derived from the reach catchment scale. (Schwarz and Wieczorek, 2018).
