Abstract:

The surface Water and Related Land Resources Development Map includes the United States and Puerto Rico at a scale of 1:3,168,000. Depicted on the map are streams and lakes, dams, reservoirs, major river basin boundaries, State boundaries, and related features.

          The Surface Water and Related Land Resources Development Map is designed to portray both the development and preservation aspects of Federal water resources activities, with the main theme being the spatial distribution of dams and reservoirs. The map shows other features such as the boundaries of major river basins and States, streams and lakes, Federal surface water irrigation projects, watershed-protection areas, licensed hydropower facilities, existing segments of the Federal Wild and Scenic Rivers system, and navigation and flood-damage reduction projects. Dams are shown that have normal storage capacity of at least 5,000 acre-feet, or a maximum storage capacity of at least 25,000 acre-feet. This includes about 800 dams owned by Federal agencies and about 2,000 dams owned by non-Federal organizations. The current map depicts information from the period 1981 to 1983.
