Governance, Partnerships, and Data Acquisition to Support the 3D Hydrography Program Thumbnail

Detailed Description
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has developed a vision for the 3D National Topography Model (3DNTM), which will integrate USGS elevation and hydrography datasets to model the Nation's topography in 3D. The 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP) is the hydrography component of the 3DNTM and the next generation of national hydrography mapping that will include deriving a stream network from elevation data. 3DHP will provide critical data for applications like flooding, contaminant spills, water quality and quantity, drought, climate change, and other, emerging applications. This presentation describes plans for national data acquisition, partnerships, and governance for the 3DHP.
