National Inventory of Dams This feature layer, utilizing National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA) data from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), displays dams within the United States, Puerto Rico and Guam. Per the USACE, "The National Inventory of Dams (NID) consists of dams meeting at least one of the following criteria:Dams where downstream flooding would likely result in loss of human life (high hazard potential). Dams where downstream flooding would likely result in disruption of access to critical facilities, damage to public and private facilities, and require difficult mitigation efforts (significant hazard potential). Dams that meet minimum height and reservoir size requirements, even though they do not pose the same level of life or economic risk as those above – these dams are typically equal to or exceed 25 feet in height and exceed 15 acre-feet in storage, or equal to or exceeding 50 acre-feet storage and exceeding 6 feet in height. The NID does not yet contain all dams in the U.S. that meet these criteria. Continued, routine updates to the NID and enhanced data collection efforts, focused on the most reliable data sources (primarily the many federal and state government dam regulatory programs), will help capture these dams and result in a more robust dataset over time." Hoover, Davis & Glen Canyon Dams Data currency: This cached Esri federal service is checked weekly for updates from its enterprise federal source (Dams) and will support mapping, analysis, data exports and OGC API – Feature access.NGDAID: 160 (National Inventory of Dams)OGC API Features Link: (National Inventory of Dams - OGC Features) copy this link to embed it in OGC Compliant viewersFor more information, please visit: National Inventory of DamsSupport Documentation: Reference DocumentsFor feedback please contact: Esri_US_Federal_Data@esri.comThumbnail courtesy of: Esri Basemaps Imagery NGDA Data Set This data set is part of the NGDA Water - Inland Theme Community. Per the Federal Geospatial Data Committee (FGDC), Water - Inland is defined as the "interior hydrologic features and characteristics, including classification, measurements, location, and extent. Includes aquifers, watersheds, wetlands, navigation, water quality, water quantity, and groundwater information."For other NGDA Content: Esri Federal Datasets
