Washington State Hydrography Dataset Program
The Washington State Hydrography Dataset Program (WASHD) coordinates the mapping of the surface waters of the State. Historically this has been as the steward of the USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). As USGS transitions to the newer 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP), WASHD Program's role is evolving.
Washington state uses this dataset as the standard for all of our water-based GIS data. As the lead agency, we work with our partners to produce high quality hydrography data.
For more details about the WASHD Program, take a look at our Sites Page.
