Abstract:
Hydrologic Units Codes (HUC) -- This shapefile is derived from GIS data that was originally developed for Colorado's Western Slope in the mid-1990's as part of the CDSS project. Any subsequent data processing is described in the Data Quality Information section below. The release notes that were originally created for the data are as follows:

Hydrologic units describe drainage areas used by the USBR. Hydrologic Units at 1:100,000 meter resolution. This coverage was generated using 250k resolution obtained over the Internet from the USGS mosaic site: <http://edcwww.cr.usgs.gov>

This coverage was then resampled by the IDS Group (CSU) using the Hydrology at 1:100,000 meter resolution (../hydro/hydro100) and Elevation Contours at 1:100,000 meter resolution (../topography/cont100m) coverages. New points were selected based on elevation and river features in Arc/Info.

Purpose: Spatial data in support of the CDSS project.

Process_Description:
Edited the original HUC data and replaced the HUC boundaries that divide two divisions with the division boundaries. There were slight differences in the lines that were used. Clipped to Colorado DWR division boundary.
