NHDPlus Applications—What is this good for?  Two examples for today:  West Virginia Chemical Spill  NorWest Stream Temperature/Habitat Modeling  More application examples: systems.com/NHDPlus/applications.php systems.com/NHDPlus/applications.php

West Virginia Chemical Spill  Spill one mile upstream from water treatment plant  Incident Command Tool for Drinking Water Protection (ICWater) used to warn downstream water suppliers  Uses NHDPlus flows and velocities  Adjusts with real-time gage data  Provided accurate travel-time estimates  Protected Cincinnati water supply and others

Strategic Prioritization of Habitat Restoration Maintaining/restoring flow… Maintaining/restoring riparian… Restoring channel form/function… Prescribed burns limit wildfire risks… Non-native species control… Improve/impede fish passage… Lots of things we can do… Low Priority High Priority But where to do it?
