scNIDaregis: Geospatial Processing of Selected Components of the National Inventory of Dams with a State-Level Aggregation Scheme and Post-Processing Features for Basin-Specific Tabulation [dataset]
Formation of geospatial layer and delimited text files of selected components (data attributes) of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) National Inventory of Dams (NID) is made by the software documented in this scNIDaregis repository. The repository is approved as an official USGS software release (see ./www/USGSapproval20210322.pdf). The scNIDaregis documentation is oriented around a demonstration using the sibling scripts ./makeNIDtrimStep1.R and ./makeNIDtrimStep2.R for eight states in the south-central United States. The basic aggregation unit of data for this repository are the state-level reservoir-identification data tables published by the USACE (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2019). Further, some post-processing features are also presented in this repository that are intended to provide a computationally transparent basis for supporting detailed statistical investigation of relations between streamflow and the presence of many dams and reservoirs on the landscape. Lastly, the zip package is used to ensure cross-platform unzipping functionality within this repository.
