Description: The California State Water Resources Control Board is currently in the process of improving the functionality and accessibility of information residing in their basin plans. To achieve this, the beneficial use data is being transferred to a standardized digital format and linked to applicable surface water features. This layer is limited to the linear beneficial uses data, while the water quality objectives, applicable TMDLs, etc. will be released later. GIS layers contain hydrography features derived from the National Hydrography Dataset with added attribution. Nonspatial tables will contain various textual and numeric data from the Regional Basin and State Plans. Extent of the dataset will cover the state of California and the dataset will reflect the information and elements from the various plans used up to 2020. The GIS layers and associated attribution will enable the future integration of the various elements of the Basin Plans to ensure that all applicable Basin Plan requirements for a particular waterbody can be determined in a quick and precise manner across different modern mediums. Data is being managed and the project implemented using ArcGIS Server and ArcSDE technology.
