Klamath-Northern California Coastal

Left: the Klamath-Northern California Coastal basin (WBD HUC4 1801) with its NHDPlus HR network, its larger lakes and reservoirs, Humboldt Bay and the Pacific coastal waters as water, and our Mad-Redwood model (USGS 11481200) in orange. Right: that model drawn large, every one of its channels.

  • 1 published SWAT+ model
  • NHDPlus HR: 125,667 km of network flow paths, 3.16x NHDPlus V2.1's 39,726 km; canals are in both counts
  • 76 USGS gauges with a 90 % daily record, 2014-2024 (21 of 22 HUC8s covered)
  • 22 HUC8s both datasets carry, 67,761.6 km² (WBD HUC12 sum)

Basin: HUC4 1801 (Klamath-Northern California Coastal) of the USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset.

Each point is one basin (WBD HUC4): its network flow paths in NHDPlus Version 2.1 (across) and in NHDPlus HR (up), filled with canals and ditches in both counts, hollow without them. On the line, the two would be equal. In this figure, this basin's points are orange.

A model of your California watershed

We build a SWAT+ model for a USGS stream gauge in California, from national data. You download it as files you open in SWAT+ Editor and run, and you keep the files.
