The Washington Hydrography Framework Project is the cooperative effort of many federal,
state, local, and tribal governmental organizations, as well as private organizations to
define, implement, and maintain a single high resolution hydrography network for
Washington State.
The ultimate goal of the Framework Project is to establish a common "core"
set of spatial and tabular hydrography information to which all organizations can attach
their business specific requirements. Those requirements that are common to each Framework
partner have been identified and will reside in the Framework database. The primary
benefits of the Hydrography Framework Project include the ability to effectively store, access, analyze, model, and trade hydrographic
data between interested parties. These benefits will be realized by the
implementation of a single surface water information system for the region that will
provide common ground for all organizations using hydrography data.
