Once linked to the NHD by their reach addresses, the upstream/downstream relationships of these water-related entities--and any associated information about them--can be analyzed using software tools ranging from spreadsheets to geographic information systems (GIS). GIS can also be used to combine NHD-based network analysis with other data layers, such as soils, land use and population, to help understand and display their respective effects upon one another.

The Middle Susquehanna Subbasin portion of the high resolution National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) This is a shapefile that uniquely identifies the stream segments or reaches that make up the Middle Susquehanna subbasin surface water drainage system. High resolution NHD adds detail to the original 1:100,000-scale NHD. Like the 1:100,000-scale NHD, high resolution NHD contains reach codes for networked features and isolated lakes, flow direction, names, stream level, and centerline representations for areal water bodies. Reaches are also defined to represent waterbodies. The NHD also incorporates the National Spatial Data Infrastructure framework criteria set out by the Federal Geographic Data Committee.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "The NHD is a national framework for assigning reach addresses to water-related entities, such as industrial discharges, drinking water supplies, fish habitat areas, wild and scenic rivers.
