Service Description: Each drainage area is considered a Hydrologic Unit (HU) and is given a Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) which serves as the unique identifier for the area. Hydrologic Units are delineated to nest in a multi-level, hierarchical drainage system with corresponding HUCs, so that as you move from small scale to large scale the HUC digits increase in increments of two. For example, the very largest HUCs have 2 digits, and thus are referred to as HUC 2s, and the very smallest HUCs have 12 digits, and thus are referred to as HUC 12s.<div><br /></div><div><div style='margin:0px; padding:0px; color:rgb(77, 77, 77); font-family:"Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:14px; background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);'><img alt='WBD HUCs' src='https://downloads.esri.com/blogs/hydro/AGOL_Content/WBD.jpg' /></div></div><div style='margin:0px; padding:0px; color:rgb(77, 77, 77); font-family:"Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:14px; background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);'><br /></div>
