This layer package shows sites where hydrology data are collected for the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) within the Southern Rockies LCC. The sites include surface water sites, groundwater sites, springs sites and atmospheric sites. The locations were downloaded using the USGS Web Services Snapshot tool, an ArcGIS add-in tool that allows users to query the NWIS database and download subsets of hydrological data into geodatabases. Each of these gage locations has associated data in NWIS, accessible through the NWIS website or with the Snapshot tool. The layer's attribute table contains the NWIS inventory URL for each gage location. There is also an online map of NWIS gages. Citation for Snapshot: Holl, Sally, 2011, [...]
