It Would Be Nice IF:
• All the waters we are charge to protect are on the national map.
• We could report to the EPA by reference to the national map
• If our science could cross state borders without paying a toll.

NHD is a Network
• You can accumulate water withdrawals, and Discharges, route spills, do hydrologic modeling…..

We need a Steward!
![Page 17: The National Hydrologic Dataset](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681613a550346895dd09a6c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Why Do We Need Stewardship?
• The USGS does not know everything.
• Hydrography changes
• State and local organizations are better aware of the hydrography and capable of ground truth validation within their region. Such local and regional organizations should have the opportunity to serve as stewards.
