“DelRiv 24k – NE": Natural Environment Related Data Summaries for the Delaware River Watershed Within NHD Plus HR catchments

Metadata Updated: February 22, 2025

These tabular data are the summarization of natural environment related variables within catchments of the Delaware River watershed at the 1:24,000 scale using the xstrm methodology. Variables being counted as natural environment related include soils/geology, lithology, elevation, slope, stream gradient, landform (geomorphon) and others. Outputs include tabular comma-separated values files (CSVs) and parquet files for the local catchment and network summaries linked to the National Hydrography Dataset Plus High-Resolution (NHDPlus HR) catchments by NHDPlus ID. Local catchments are defined as the single catchment within which the data are summarized. Network summaries are summaries for each of the local catchments and their respective network-connected upstream catchments for select variables. The summarized data tables are structured as a single column representing the catchment id values (i.e. NHDPlus ID) and the remaining columns consisting of the summarized variables. Xstrm downstream network summaries are not present within this dataset as no summaries were conducted using that network summary method. For a full description of the variables included within these summaries see xstrm_nhdhr_natural_delaware_river_datadictionary.csv in the attached files. The xstrm local summary methodology takes either raster or point data as input then summarizes those data by "zones", in this case the NHDPlus HR catchments. The network summaries then take the results from the local summaries and calculates the desired network summary statistic for the local catchment and its respective upstream or downstream catchments. As a note concerning use of these data, any rasters summarized within this process only had their cells included within a catchment if the center of the raster cell fell within the catchment boundary. However, the resolution of the input raster data for these summaries was considered to provide completely adequate coverage of the summary catchments using this option. If a confirmed complete coverage of a catchment is desired (even if a raster cell only is minimally included within the catchment) then it is recommended to rerun the xstrm summary process with the "All Touched" option set to “True”.
