Description:

Abstract:

A watershed is the drainage basin or the land draining to a water body. It is a system that includes land, soils, plants, wetlands, water bodies, land cover, and people. These all affect the water flowing down through the watershed to the streams and rivers, influencing flooding, erosion, water quality, water temperature, and habitat.

Purpose:

These data can be utilized for general planning purposes. In disciplines such as resource management, stormwater planning, flood management, and land use planning, watersheds are increasingly recognized as key geographic units for analysis and planning. Alterations to watershed characteristics affect downstream landscape, water bodies, land uses, and habitat. By examining features within a watershed, resource managers can identify potential sources of problems and potential effects of alteration, and may develop strategies to minimize or reduce problems related to alteration.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Mapped watershed boundaries may differ from actual boundaries because of variations in topography not shown by the 10-foot contour intervals, grading of the landscape, or drainage alterations during site/road construction.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

These data are believed to be logically consistent, though no tests were performed.

Completeness_Report:

The extent of the data is dependent on its derivation and from secondary source material.

Process_Description:

Ohio DNR has produced maps of major watersheds and subwatersheds of Ohio. US Geologic Survey (USGS) topographic maps at 1:24,000 using 10-foot contour intervals were mapped based on the size of the watershed.

Using the USGS watersheds data, as well as 2-foot contour intervals from Summit County, 20 square mile watersheds were interpreted from hard copy maps printed at 1:750 scale. The watershed maps were then soft-copy digitized in ArcView to create the shapefile. Area and perimeter data were calculated using the ArcView "calculate geometry" script. Acreage and square mile attribute data were then added to the attributes from the area calculated.
