In nhdplusTools: NHDPlus Tools

Get NLDI Basin Boundary

Description

Get a basin boundary for a given NLDI feature.

Usage

get_nldi_basin(nldi_feature, simplify = TRUE, split = FALSE)

Arguments

nldi_feature	list with names 'featureSource' and 'featureID' where 'featureSource' is derived from the "source" column of the response of get_nldi_sources and the 'featureID' is a known identifier from the specified 'featureSource'.
simplify	logical should response geometry be simplified for visualization and performance?
split	logical should response resolve precisely to the location of the 'nldi_feature'? Setting 'TRUE' calls an additional service and will be slower and less robust.

Details

Only resolves to the nearest NHDPlus catchment divide. See: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/blog/nldi-intro/ for more info on the nldi.

Value

sf data.frame with result basin boundary
