small noaa logo Home | Software & Data Sets | Watershed Database & Mapping Projects
NOAA's Assessment and Restoration Division has developed numerous Watershed Database and Mapping Projects. Because each project is unique, with its own characteristics, their components vary. But each builds upon a standard database structure and a data delivery application (Query Manager). Most include GIS data as well.
icon for anacostia navigation. Anacostia River Watershed Database and Mapping Project Software & Data The Anacostia River Watershed Database and Mapping Project is comprehensive database with a GIS mapping component. The project focus is on contaminants in the sediments and in the river. This decision-making tool is intended to help partner agencies and local citizen groups identify priorities and base watershed management decisions on the same sets of data.
icon for calcasieu navigation. Calcasieu Estuary Watershed Database and Mapping Project Software & Data The Calcasieu Estuary Watershed Database and Mapping Project was developed to support NOAA's activities and the Assessment and Restoration Division (ARD) mission. The project focused on analysis of sediment and tissue data. The goal is to identify areas of the estuary that should be addressed to reduce and mitigate risks due to hazardous substance exposures.
Charles River Watershed Database and Mapping Project Software & Data This describes the purpose and content of the Charles River Watershed Project.
Christina River Watershed Database and Mapping Project Software & Data The Christina River, a tributary of the Delaware River, historically supported large populations of anadromous sturgeon, Atlantic salmon, shad and herring.
Delaware Estuary Watershed Database and Mapping Project This Delaware Estuary Watershed Database and Mapping Project is a product of the 2006 Interagency Agreement (IAG) between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Hazardous Site Cleanup Division.
Elizabeth River Watershed Contaminant Conceptual Model Project This is a data collaboration between federal, state, and local partners and is designed as a decision support tool for clean-up and restoration efforts in the Elizabeth River.
Hudson River Watershed Hudson River Watershed Database and Mapping Project Software & Data ARD is developing the Hudson River Watershed Database and Mapping Project to provide information and interpretive tools to aid the remedial investigation of the Hudson River Superfund site and restoration planning for the watershed.
Portland Harbor Watershed Database and Mapping Project Software & Data ARD has developed the Portland Harbor Watershed project, which covers the Portland Harbor site and adjacent areas upstream to Willamette Falls and downstream into the Columbia River. Portland Harbor was named as a Superfund site by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2000. NOAA is involved in the site investigation and cleanup work because the site impacts natural resources that NOAA manages on behalf of the public.
St. Lawrence Watershed Database and Mapping Project Software & Data The St. Lawrence River Watershed Project is being developed to focus on services lost due to contamination. Data regarding PCB and PAH concentrations are the primary contaminants in the sediment samples that are being reviewed and compiled. The GIS project will support efforts by the agencies and stakeholders to quantify injury and scale restoration projects.

About the Watershed Database and Mapping Projects NOAA's Assessment and Restoration Division has developed numerous Watershed Database and Mapping Projects that combine a standard database structure, a database application (Query Manager), and GIS data.
OR&R Efforts in Vieques, Puerto Rico Vieques is a small island east of mainland Puerto Rico that was formerly used by the U.S. Navy for military training operations. The Navy ceased operations in 2003, and is now investigating areas it previously occupied to determine the extent of contamination.
