PURPOSE:

For use with the PRMS streamflow model. HRUs were created using a combination of watershed subbasins, soils, hydrography, and vegetation data layers. The combined coverage was edited to for use in the model. Soil polygons were grouped according to soil texture, other component layers were of good quality.

Description:

HF01501: HRUs were created using a combination of watershed subbasins, soils, hydrograpy, and vegetation data layers. The combined coverage was edited for use in the model.

All intermediate coverages reside on optical disk as well as AMLs for determining dominant aspect, soil, and seral stage and mean slope and elevation. These programs are named: domaspect.aml, domsoil.aml, rveg.aml, elevmean.aml, and slopeavg.aml. These parameters are required by the PRMS model.

Dataset did not line up with existing UTM Zone 10, NAD27 data. An earlier shift was done. George Lienkaemper corrected by the following procedure: Dataset moved by projecting it to NAD83 with an x shift of 84.0 and a y shift or 10.0. Project define your new coverage as NAD27

Coverage was converted to a shape file and projected to Nad83 Datum.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:

All intermediate coverages reside on optical disk as well as AMLs for determining dominant aspect, soil, and seral stage and mean slope and elevation. These programs are named: domaspect.aml, domsoil.aml, rveg.aml, elevmean.aml and slopeavg.aml. These parameters are required by the PRMS model.
