UGRC Attributes
- IsMajor
- Query/identify major rivers and streams for coarse scale mapping and display,
1 = major,0 = minor. - InUtah
- Identify/exclude rivers and streams outside of Utah. Water course features that intersect the state boundary
have been split and attributed
1 = in Utah,0 = outside Utah. - Submerged
- Can be used to exclude the hydrologic network features that have been added across water bodies to the NHD
dataset for linear water flow modeling
1 = submerged,0 = surface.
