The StreamCat Dataset: Accumulated Attributes for NHDPlusV2 (Version 2.1) Catchments for the Conterminous United States: Pesticide
This dataset represents the pesticide use within individual, local NHDPlusV2 catchments and upstream, contributing watersheds. Attributes of the landscape layer were calculated for every local NHDPlusV2 catchment and accumulated to provide watershed-level metrics. This data set is derived from 219, 1-kilometer (km) resolution grids depicting estimated agricultural use of each pesticide in the conterminous United States. Each grid cell value in the national grids of this dataset is the estimated total kilograms (kg) of pesticides applied to row crops, small grain crops and fallow land, pasture and hay crops, and orchard and vineyard crops within the 1- by 1-km area. A single raster was produced using the Raster Calculator Tool adding all 219 grids to form the landscape layer for analysis. (see Data Sources for links to NHDPlusV2 data and USGS Data). The (kilograms of pesticides/square kilometer) was summarized by local catchment and by watershed to produce local catchment-level and watershed-level metrics as a continuous data type.
