Nueces-Southwestern Texas Coastal

Left: the Nueces-Southwestern Texas Coastal basin (WBD HUC4 1211) with its NHDPlus HR network, its larger lakes and reservoirs, the Laguna Madre, Corpus Christi Bay, Baffin Bay and the coastal waters as water, and our Upper Frio model (USGS 08195000) in orange. Right: that model drawn large, every one of its channels, with its water bodies in blue.

  • 1 published SWAT+ model
  • NHDPlus HR: 63,653 km of network flow paths in its Texas HUC8s, 2.45x NHDPlus V2.1's 25,970 km
  • 33 USGS gauges with a 90 % daily record, 2014-2024, in its Texas HUC8s (13 of 18 HUC8s covered)

Each point is one basin (WBD HUC4), over its HUC8s that lie mostly in Texas: 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. Ringed: the two datasets' areas for this basin differ by more than 5 %: Galveston Bay-San Jacinto, Brazos Headwaters, Lower Brazos, Upper Colorado, Lower Colorado-San Bernard Coastal, Central Texas Coastal, Rio Grande Closed Basins, Lower Pecos and Rio Grande-Falcon. In this figure, this basin's points are orange.

A model of your Texas watershed

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