Intersectional weights between two different 12-digit Hydrologic Unit Code 12(HUC12) boundaries.

Metadata Updated: December 11, 2025

This data release contains fractional intersectional weights used to crosswalk data from the National Water Use Program to the National Integrated Water Availability Assessment (IWAAs) projects. The Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD; https://www.usgs.gov/national-hydrography/watershed-boundary-dataset) is a companion dataset to the National Hydrography Dataset and contains polygons that define the spatial boundaries of hydrologic units (i.e., the area of land the landscape that drains into a portion of the stream network). These are periodically updated as these boundary definitions are refined by incorporating better, more localized data. When aggregating data from multiple sources that rely on data from the WBD, a situation can occur where different datasets rely on different versions (or “snapshots”) of the WBD. This was the case for the IWAAs National Report which relied upon data using a version of the WBD found in the Mainstem Rivers data release (https://doi.org/10.5066/P92U7ZUT) as well as data that relied upon a version used by the National Water Use Program (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9FUL880). This dataset is the output of a pipeline of R code published as a software release (https://doi.org/10.5066/P1UANON8) and contains the fraction of spatial overlap (i.e., weights) between the subwatershed (HUC12) boundaries from these two versions of the WBD. These weights can be used as a crosswalk between the two snapshots of the WBD.
