Abstract
This report presents a reference flow network for the conterminous United States that is built from the best available information from the U.S. Geological Survey, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Weather Service, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The work is intended to support durable data integration and reproducibility. Originating from the National Hydrography Dataset Plus (NHDPlus) V2.1, the reference flow network incorporates network connectivity enhancements from federal agency efforts. After incorporating these network improvements, many original NHDPlus attributes were regenerated to enable network navigation and related operations. After introducing the motivation and background for this work, this report describes the attribute generation workflow and data quality checks that were performed in preparation of the dataset. The reference flow network follows the NHDPlus data model and is described using terms defined in the Mainstem and Drainage Basin logical model and WaterML2 Part3: Surface Hydrology Features conceptual model.
