The state of Wisconsin includes over 100,000 HUC16 catchments which hold a vast array of lakes and stream reaches. Catchments can be dissolved into their larger upstream drainage basins to fully encapsulate the characteristics of the water and land that may drain into a specific point on the landscape. It is important to understand the variable characteristics of a basin in order to discern or predict what water quality and stream dynamics may be like - as they are functions of the surrounding landscape and land use. While there are many basin-wide factors that may affect the water quality and stream dynamics at any given point in a system, the gridded-Soil Survey Geographic Database (gSSURGO) from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) holds readily available soil information in a gridded format that can be used to answer some of the questions as to why a stream reach is the way it is.
