The island was divided into 2 regions to minimize residuals. The region division that resulted in lower and more balanced residuals runs primarily north-south near the center of the island, mostly along an 8-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC8) boundary. The division line runs through a HUC8 polygon on the southern end of the island, but care was taken to include entire watersheds and consideration was given where hydrologic and physiographic properties differed. This data release includes geographic information system files that define the polygons for both regions.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P91XT14B", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.5fa06e49d34e198cb79192a3.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_5fa06e49d34e198cb79192a3", "keyword": ["HUC", "USGS:5fa06e49d34e198cb79192a3", "WBD", "Watershed", "Watershed Boundary Dataset", "floods", "inlandWaters", "regression analysis", "river discharge", "statistical analysis", "streamflow", "streamflow monitoring"], "modified": "2021-09-20T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-67.272184561, 17.925619247, -65.588508126, 18.517125578", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Regions for regional regression equations"}
