are available at the BASINS

Data from the web
The new and updated datasets in BASINS (see metadata)
have been added to the data download directory for each 8-digit
watershed or HUC
in the lower 48 states, Alaska (19), Hawaii (20), and Puerto Rico
with the U.S. Virgin Islands (21). The data by HUCs can be found
on the web at http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/ftp/basins/gis_data/huc.
The DEM (Digital Elevation Model) shapefile and grid datasets can
be added to BASINS before or after the BASINS project has been created.
The National Elevation Dataset (NED), a higher resolution elevation
grid, tiled by HUC boundary is also available.
The GIRAS landuse/landcover has been removed from the core data
and is now available seperately as a shapefile for each HUC.
Weather data by states for the models can be found at http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/ftp/basins/wdm_data/.
The SWAT model in BASINS requires STATSGO
data .
