| Abstract
|
This layer shows areas of Montana for which staff of the Montana Office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) calculate a monthly Surface Water Supply Index (SWSI) value. The SWSI is determined for areas that rely on snow melt as the primary source of surface water. The regions were derived from 4th-code subbasin hydrologic unit boundary (HUC) data, modified based on input from NRCS personnel. Some SWSI areas are arbitrary-width, uniform buffers along streams, some are one or more HUCs, and some are truncated HUCs.This version of the layer was used after the year 1999 to make the maps shown on the SWSI web pages of the State Library web site. The old web site maps based on the pre-2000 areas were replaced with maps of these new areas.
