Sue Buto is the Hydrography Data Acquisition Lead
As Hydrography Data Acquisition Lead (HDAL) Sue oversees planning and implementation of hydrography data acquisition for the emerging 3D Hydrography Program. Sue has worked for the USGS since 2001, working for both the Nevada and Utah Water Science Centers before moving to the National Geospatial Program as the HDAL and as acting Elevation Data Acquisition Lead.
The 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP) database will initially be populated with the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) features, mapped to the new data model. The NHD-source features will be replaced with hydrography derived from the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) lidar and IfSAR data as it becomes available.

Federal Fiscal Year 2024 was the first full operational year for the 3D Hydrography Program. We made significant progress in a number of areas, publishing final versions of legacy products, and developing processes for the new program. This presentation will provide an overview of what was accomplished in FY24 and what is planned for FY25.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) is a national hydrologic unit (HU) geospatial dataset that defines surface drainage areas for the United States. This dataset provides a foundation for local, regional, and national applications to manage, archive, exchange, and analyze data by HU.
