  "description": "As part of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Water-Quality Assessment Program (NAWQA), \nan investigation of the Missouri River Basin is being conducted to document trends in surface-water quality, \nspecifically for trends in nutrients and suspended sediment.  Surface-water samples were collected from \nstreams at specific sampling stations.  Water-quality characteristics at each station are influenced by the \nnatural and cultural characteristics of the drainage area upstream from the sampling station.  Efficient \nquantification of the drainage area characteristics requires a digital map of the drainage area boundary \nthat may be processed, together with other digital thematic maps (such as geology or land use), in a \ngeographic information system (GIS).  Digital drainage-area boundary data for one stream-sampling \nstation in the Missouri River Basin (MRB4) study area is included in this data release.  The drainage \ndivides were identified chiefly using 1:24,000-scale hypsography.",
