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
