These increasing depths correspond to \nincreasing stream orders.  Or in other words, with increasing depth these paths \nof groundwater flow travel further from divides to point of discharge which are to \nincreasingly larger streams of higher stream order.  \n\t  \nDSD \u2013 Raster \u2013 Distance from Stream to Divide (DSD) rasters have cell values \nequal to the sum of the shortest distance to the stream or associated waterbody \nplus the shortest distance to the matching Thiessen divide. There are 9 rasters \nfor streams orders 1 through 9. Units are in meters.\n\t  \nLP \u2013 Raster -- the lateral position (LP) raster has cell values equal to the shortest \ndistance to the stream or associated waterbody divided by the DSD. There are 9 \nrasters for streams orders 1 through 9.\n\t  \nCombined, these two factors, DSD and LP, provide a measure or description of \npotential distance of groundwater flow to any location along the groundwater flow \npath.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9ST73KV", "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.72bead86-13ef-47b8-9f0c-910061a33c37.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_72bead86-13ef-47b8-9f0c-910061a33c37", "keyword": ["Canada", "Cycle 3", "Groundwater", "Hydrologic Position", "Mexico", "NAWQA", "National Rasters", "Statistical Predictors", "USGS:72bead86-13ef-47b8-9f0c-910061a33c37", "United States", "Water Quality", "environment", "geoscientificInformation", "inlandWaters"], "modified": "2025-08-05T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-127.8572, 23.2444, -65.3748, 51.5121", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "National Multi Order Hydrologic Position (MOHP - High Resolution) Predictor Data for Groundwater and Groundwater-Quality Modeling"}
