WCHYDRO and WBHYDRO together make up the most complete and up to date hydrography layer for the State of Washington. WBHYDRO contains waterbodies represented as polygonal features and shorelines represented as polygon perimeters. WBHYDRO includes features such as Puget Sound, lakes, wet areas, reservoirs, impoundments, glaciers, islands, and dams. WBHYDRO and WCHYDRO are edited daily and simultaneously; updates are posted weekly for internal DNR use and monthly for external use. Attribute interrelationships within WBHYDRO and spatial and attribute interrelationships between WBHYDRO and WCHYDRO are maintained.<\/SPAN><\/P>
