Exercise Data

Use the links below to obtain the data necessary for performing the exercises.

Exercises

  • Exercise 0 - Installing Tools and Data
  • This exercise is a prerequisite for all other exercises. It provides instructions for acquiring the data and the tools needed to complete the other exercises.

  • Exercise 1 - Setting Up the Data
  • In this exercise, you'll learn: (1) how to obtain and install NHDPlusV2 data; (2) how to use a special NHDPlusV2 tool to quickly build indexes and pyramids; and (3) an easy method for keeping your NHDPlusV2 data up to date.

  • Exercise 2 - Linking Data to NHD
  • In this exercise, you'll learn how to use the NHD linear referencing system to link data to the NHD stream network in NHDPlusV2.

  • Exercise 3 - Navigating With Geometry
  • In this exercise, you'll learn how to navigate the NHD stream network using the geometry of the stream network features.

  • Exercise 4 - Navigating with the Flow Table and With VAAs
  • In this exercise, you'll learn how to navigate the NHD stream network using the NHDPlusV2 flow table and using the NHDPlusV2 VAAs with tools built specifically for that purpose.

  • Exercise 5 - Network Analysis
  • This exercise combines what you learned in exercises 2, 3, and 4 to illustrate network analysis using NHDPlusV2.

  • Exercise 6 - Raster Datasets
  • NHDPlusV2 contains many raster datasets. In this exercise, you'll learn how best to use raster data and how to symbolize NHDPlusV2 raster data in a map.

  • Exercise 7 - Watershed Delineation
  • In this exercise, you'll learn how to delineate a watershed (the drainage area upstream) from a point along the stream network.

  • Exercise 8 - NHDPlusV2 Simple Model
  • This exercise provides a simple dilution model as an example of how NHDPlusV2 can be used to build models.
