Description:

Abstract:

QuadBasins are drainage areas that were manually delineated from U.S. Geological Survey 7.5 minute topographic maps, and thus are based on contours and hydrography mapped at that scale. However, the boundaries have been extensively revised using project area knowledge, and in some cases, information from local governments and consultants regarding stormwater drainage. Delineation of boundaries is the responsibility of the Engineering Division.
Date of last update: December 2008.
** The dowloadable zip file also contains Major Basins and Planning Units, which are aggregations of the QuadBasins. **

Purpose:

The Water Resources Geodatabase (WRGDB) was created to integrate water-related spatial information on a 1:24,000 scale, in a relational manner that supports hydrologic analysis and modeling efforts.
The District uses this information for general mapping and cartographic purposes, and for small and medium scale hydrologic and assessment applications.

Supplemental_Information:

Users should be aware that these QuadBasin boundaries include water area as well as land area. Some SJRWMD QuadBasins are dominated by very large waterbodies, such as the Indian River Lagoon, and the surface area of water far outweighs the surface area of land in that QuadBasin.
A report documenting an earlier version of this data layer (with maps and tables) is available through the SJRWMD Library (SunCom-860.4132, Phone-904.329.4132): Surface Water Drainage Basin Boundaries, St. Johns River Water Management District: A Reference Guide. Technical Publication SJ97-1.
UPDATES, RELATED DATA LAYERS, and RELATED APPLICATIONS: 1. In September 2000, the predecessor to the layer was used as the basis for deriving the Mitigation Regulatory Boundaries, which have been incorporated into the Florida Administrative Code. Significant QuadBasin revisions need to be coordinated with the Water Resources Department, Division of Environmental Resource Management, in case the derived Mitigation Regulatory Boundaries need to be revised as well. The contact is Michelle Reiber (as of December 2005).
2. The District maintains an Oracle Spatial layer which is used to populate items in the station header table when stations are created or revised. When the QuadBasins layer is revised, the Oracle Spatial layer should be updated.
3. Related data layers: Planning Units are aggregations of QuadBasins. Major Basins are aggregations of Planning Units.
4. The District's Nexrad IMS application uses a copy of the Major Basins intersected with Nexrad pixels. When Major Basins are revised, this derived layer also needs to be updated.
5. This layer was used as a base reference in the development of the statewide Hydrologic Unit Boundaries NRCS layer (first completed in December 2005). Any significant revisions should be submitted to Jean-Paul Calixte, NRCS Gainesville, with revisions clearly identified.

Lineage:

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The geometry and most of the attribution was imported from the SDE Catchments_2006 layer.

Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: C:\TempChris\GISWRGDB_template.xml

Process_Date: August 8, 2007

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The Noncontributing field was updated based on the presence of flowlines in the layer HydroEdge.

Process_Date: September 2007

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Update QuadBasin boundaries using the changes in the SDE layer CatchmentEdits. HydroJunctions for Quadbasins were updated at the same time. CatchmentEdit revisions were directed by David Clapp, Engineering Division, June 2007 through March 2008. Much of the focus (but not all) was on separating basins at important monitoring stations.

Process_Date: July 2008

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Update QuadBasin features according to information from Whitney Green and Nathan Martin in Environmental Sciences (as reviewed by David Clapp). Associated HydroJunctions were revised, and deleted in cases where QuadBasins were deleted. The Primary field in HydroEdge was also updated as needed.

Process_Date: September 2008

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Revised QuadBasin boundaries to match, where appropriate, the Mitigation Basin boundary revisions that became effective November 5, 2008. QuadBasins do not completely match Mitigation Basins; in some cases, Engineering chose to leave them as is. There were also some additional boundary adjustments between the IRL and USJRB.
