Understanding the Transition from NHDPlus HR to 3DHP
The new 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP) is the focus of USGS efforts to acquire and produce detailed surface-water mapping information, such as lakes, ponds, rivers and streams.
Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) Transitioning to 3DHP
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) is a national hydrologic unit (HU) geospatial dataset that defines surface drainage areas for the United States. This dataset provides a foundation for local, regional, and national applications to manage, archive, exchange, and analyze data by HU.

Governance, Partnerships, and Data Acquisition to Support the 3D Hydrography Program
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has developed a vision for the 3D National Topography Model (3DNTM), which will integrate USGS elevation and hydrography datasets to model the Nation's topography in 3D.

3D Hydrography Program Transition Timelines
The USGS is developing the 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP) as the surface water mapping component of the new 3D National Topography Model (3DNTM.) The 3DHP will provide critical data to support a broad range of national, regional, and local applications such as flood forecasting and response, agricultural planning, infrastructure design, stream ecology research a
