Abstract:
Depicts estimated 2020 technical generation potential, by county, for commercial photovoltaic, concentrating solar, distributed wind, land-based wind, residential photovoltaic, and utility photovoltaic technologies. Technical generation potential is the upper bound of generation based on resource, system performance, topographic limitations, and environmental and land-use constraints, not market conditions. Estimates are modeled and have a high degree of uncertainty. See https://gds.nrel.gov/slope for more information.

Abstract:
This dataset was developed as part of a Conservation Network design by The Conservation Fund for the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. The Fund utilized a green infrastructure approach that will help WVDNR integrate management of habitat for Species of Greatest Conservation Need within the context of an interconnected network of lands and waters, providing multiple benefits across the state. In order to establish the Network, digital datasets were created that represent core undisturbed habitats for forest, wetland, grassland, and aquatic areas. Corridors connecting forest, wetland, and aquatic areas were delineated to complete the Network.

Watershed (HUC8) |

U.S. Geological Survey; et al |

|
Abstract:
This data set is a complete digital hydrologic unit boundary layer of the Subbasin (8-digit) 4th level for the entire United States. The Watershed and Subwatershed hydrologic unit boundaries provide a uniquely identified and uniform method of subdividing large drainage areas. The smaller sized 6th level sub-watersheds (up to 250,000 acres) are useful for numerous application programs supported by a variety of local, State, and Federal Agencies. This data set is intended to be used as a tool for water-resource management and planning activities, particularly for site-specific and localized studies requiring a level of detail provided by large-scale map information.
