Region Layers for USGS South Carolina Bohman Method Hydrograph in StreamStats

In cooperation with the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT), the U.S. Geological Survey prepared geospatial layers illustrating the boundaries of the regions used in the South Carolina (SC) Stream Hydrograph Methods presented in Bohman (1990, 1992). The region limits were described in written text and depicted in figures in Bohman (1990,1992), but have not been provided as geospatial layers (due to the age of the original publications). This project used best-available geospatial data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) ecoregions (2013) to create equivalent geospatial representations of the Bohman (1990, 1992) region boundaries for the SC Stream Hydrograph Methods. These layers will be used in the SC StreamStats application to generate hydrographs for estimated storm runoff simulations. The StreamStats application (https://streamstats.usgs.gov) provides access to spatial analytical tools that are useful for water-resources planning and management, and for engineering and design purposes. The map-based user interface can be used to delineate watershed areas, retrieve basin characteristics, estimates of flow statistics, and more.
