Indiana Watershed Leadership Program

Map Your Watershed

Provides easy access to information about Indiana's water resources, land features, and human activities that may affect them, from IndianaMap. It was made for people who may not have experience with online mapping to discover and visualize information.

Indiana Finder Tools

Note: Originally developed at Purdue University, the "Finder" tools are now managed by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.

Indiana HUC Finder - Find the 8, 10, and 12-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC) for any location. Also shows the older 11 and 14-digit HUCs on the same map.

Indiana Watershed Group Finder - helps you find active watershed groups anywhere in Indiana.

Indiana Water Monitoring Inventory

Discover who is monitoring what parameters in Indiana. This metadata tool does not contain actual data but points you to data holders. Developed in collaboration with the Indiana Monitoring Council. Read the Fact Sheet.

Catalog of Monitoring Protocols Used By Indiana Agencies

Find out how Indiana agencies are monitoring water. This wiki-based tool provides links to many protocols not previously online.

Other Useful Tools for Watershed Leaders

Indiana Map

Provides more than 200 spatial data layers through a web-based interface. Hosted by the Indiana Geographic Information Council.

Web Soil Survey

Tool for determining detailed soil properties for areas less than 10,000 acres. Developed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service

USEPA Pollutant Load Estimation Tool (PLET)

Uses your data to calculate estimates of nutrient and sediment loads and load reductions that result from implementation of various conservation practices. This is the successor to Region 5 and STEP-L.

Richards-Baker Flashiness Index

This spreadsheet tool uses daily stream flow to quantify the frequency and rapidity of short-term changes in stream flow. Developed by Peter Richards and David Baker, Heidelberg College.

Streamer

Visualize and understand water flow across America. Streamer allows you to trace America's larger streams upstream to their source or downstream to where they empty. Streamer is fueled by fundamental map data for the US at one million-scale from the National Atlas.
