The data were collected via surveys and desk research conducted by Forest Trends' Ecosystem Marketplace during 2014 regarding markets operating to protect watershed ecosystem services. Utilizing these data, the number of water market coverage areas overlaying each HUC8 watershed were calculated to produce this dataset. Only water markets identified as operating at the watershed level (i.e., single or multiple watersheds define the market boundaries) were included in the count of water markets per HUC8 watershed. Excluded were water markets operating at the national, state, county, or federal lands level and all water projects. Attribute data include the watershed's 8-digit hydrologic unit code and name, in addition to the watershed-level water market count associated with the watershed. This dataset was produced by Forest Trends' Ecosystem Marketplace to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets). The overall goal of this dataset is to provide information regarding the spatial distribution of water markets throughout the United States. This dataset can be combined with other data to improve knowledge of potential or existing trends, interactions, opportunities, gaps, or performance of markets and projects targeting water ecosystem services in the United States. The general purpose of this dataset is to foster and inform ecosystem services science, management, and decision-making through the provision of reliable intelligence generated by Forest Trends' Ecosystem Marketplace and made accessible to the public through the EnviroAtlas interface. This dataset is provided by Forest Trends' Ecosystem Marketplace, whose goal is to gather and make accessible reliable information on policy, finance, regulation, science, business, and other market-related factors in order to facilitate the transparency and growth of environmental markets. The overall goal of EnviroAtlas is to employ and develop the best available science to map indicators of ecosystem services production, demand, and drivers for the nation. completed EnviroAtlas Coordinator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Research and Development-Sustainable and Healthy Communities Research Program, EnviroAtlas Geospatial Data Owner (919) 541-3832 109 T.W.

This lineage was generated by the FGDC CSDGM to 19139 transformation Acquired water markets tabular data indicating market location and coverage compiled via surveys and desk research conducted by Ecosystem Marketplace during 2014. 2015-06-01T00:00:00 Standardized watershed-level water market coverage areas into 8-digit HUC watersheds. 2015-06-01T00:00:00 Mapped watershed-level water market coverage area polygons utilizing the 8-digit HUC Watershed Boundary Dataset-NRCS version 2014 (HUC8 WBD). Merged all watershed-level water market polygons into a single layer. Note: Water markets whose coverage areas encompassed multiple watersheds were not dissolved, and their watersheds remained separate features within the layer. This allowed for markets that span multiple watersheds to be considered in the market count for each of the watersheds in which they operate. 2015-07-01T00:00:00 Projected all GIS data in USA Contiguous Albers Equal Area Conic USGS Version. 2015-07-01T00:00:00 Conducted a spatial join of the watershed-level water markets layer to the original HUC8 WBD layer using a "one-to-one" join operation and "have center in" match option in the "Overlay" section of ArcToolbox. The spatial join produced an automatically generated attribute field denoting the number of water market coverage areas overlaying a particular HUC8 watershed. 2015-11-01T00:00:00 Created FGDC-compliant metadata for GIS shapefile. 2015-12-01T00:00:00 Imported GIS shapefile into file geodatabase as new feature class. 2015-12-01T00:00:00 Source Contribution: HUC8 watershed boundaries, hydrologic unit codes, and namesSource Type: online Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD), 2014 2014-09-01 publication 2014 U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service Washington DC publisher U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service originator Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) - HUC8 September 2014 2014-09-01 2014-09-01 Source Contribution: Water market coverage areasSource Type: computer program "State of" market survey data 2015-06-01 publication 20150601 Forest Trends' Ecosystem Marketplace Washington DC publisher Forest Trends' Ecosystem Marketplace originator "State of" market survey data 20150601 2008-01-01 2015-06-01 unknown 2029-05-08 This metadata was automatically generated from the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata standard (version FGDC-STD-001-1998) using the 2024-02-09T11:11:00 version of the FGDC CSDGM to ISO 19139 transform.
