  Description:
    Abstract:

      The National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program's Cook
      Inlet Basin study unit is an integrated water-quality assess-
      ment designed to address a broad array of water-quality proper-
      ties at various spatial and temporal scales. These properties
      are then related to natural and human factors that can influence
      the quality of water. The Johnson River near Tuxedni Bay, located
      on the west side of Cook Inlet, is one of 15 sites selected
      for study.

    Purpose:

      The purpose of this data set is to give the Cook Inlet NAWQA
      study unit the information needed to do basic spatial analysis
      for a given watershed within the Cook Inlet Basin. Hydrography
      of the Johnson River near Tuxedni Bay that is entered into a
      Geographic Information System (GIS) can be used to determine
      hydrologic features such as number and percent of lakes in a basin.
      In turn, these characteristics can than be used as input to hydrologic
      runoff models or regression equations to estimate water quality
      parameters such as annual suspended-sediment loads.

    Supplemental_Information:
      Procedures_Used
      The hydrography of the 1:63,360 USGS quadrangles which comprise
      the Johnson River near Tuxedni Bay were obtained in digital form
      from the USGS National Mapping Division. Each quadrangle was projected
      into an Albers Equal Area projection with the following parameters:

      Projection          ALBERS
      Units               METERS            Spheroid     CLARKE1866
      Datum               NAD27
      Parameters:
      1st standard parallel                            55  00  00
      2nd standard parallel                            65  00  00
      central meridian                                -154 00  00
      latitude of projection's origin                  50  00  00
      false easting (meters)                               0.0000
      false northing (meters)                              0.0000

      The quadrangles were then edgematched and joined to form a
      single coverage. Using the basin boundary of the Johnson River
      Basin and the ARC/INFO CLIP command, the hydrography
      of the Johnson River near Tuxedni Bay was created. Polygon topology
      was then created and labels added. The attribute WATBOD was
      used to distinguish glaciers, lakes, and gravel bars. A value
      of 1 indicates a glacier, a value of 2 indicates a lake, and a
      value of 3 indicates a gravel bar.
