Description:
Abstract:
Watershed boundaries for Water Resource Inventory Area 1
where delineated for the 2514 Watershed Planning Project.
Updated watershed delineations that all the Initiating
Governments agree on is a necessary first step to watershed
planning. The coverage is a composite of best existing
watershed delineations.
Purpose:
This coverage divides the WRIA into manageable units for
the WRIA 1 Planning Project. These units can then be
characterized according to physical and socio-economic attributes.
Supplemental_Information:
Coverage is a composite of the following agencies' data:
USGS, Whatcom County Planning & Development, WC
Conservation District, City of Bellingham, City of Everson,
Lummi Natural Resources, US Forest Service, and British
Columbia MELP. Drainage boundaries were verified with
WA-DNR 1:24,000 scale hydrography, orthophotos, USGS 7.5
minute quadrangle maps, and field collected information.
The most accurate line was then added to the base USGS
Watershed Boundaries Map (January 2000).

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Drainages were named after water the features they flow
into, geographical place name, or historical area name.
Acres were calculated but not verified. Attributes allow
for queries on where surface water drains, how much surface
area drains, major region the drainage is associated with,
and watershed terminology hierarchy each catchment fits into.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Coverage is clean
Completeness_Report:
Delineation boundaries will be refined as better data
becomes available. Areas draining to Canada are not yet complete.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Field tested boundaries are within +\- 528 feet.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Best accuracy is plus or minus one half a contour interval.
