Overview

National Inventory of DamsThis 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:High hazard potential classification - loss of human life is likely if the dam fails.Significant hazard potential classification - no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environmental damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns.Equal or exceed 25 feet in height and exceed 15 acre-feet in storage.Equal or exceed 50 acre-feet storage and exceed 6 feet in height".The goal of the NID is to include all dams in the United States that meet these criteria. In most cases, dams within the NID criteria are regulated (construction permit, inspection, and/or enforcement) by federal or state agencies, who have basic information on the dams within their jurisdiction."Hoover, Davis & Glen Canyon DamsData currency: This cached Esri federal service is checked weekly for updates from its enterprise federal source (NID2019 U) and will support mapping, analysis, data exports and OGC API – Feature access.Data.gov: Not AvailableGeoplatform: Not AvailableOGC 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 DamsFor feedback please contact: Esri_US_Federal_Data@esri.comNGDA Data SetThis data set is part of the NGDA Water - Inland Theme Community.
