<p class="MsoNormal">Yesterday, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) launched the NHD/WBD Markup application!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>From the USGS:<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Markup Application is a web-based mapping communication tool that allows users to suggest edits, or “markups”, to the NHD, WBD, and NHDPlus HR. Anyone with a Gmail account can suggest corrections and improvements to the data. The application
has been designed to work in the Chrome Web Browser only.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Suggested edits will be reviewed by the USGS and the NHD state stewards before they are approved for incorporation into the NHD or WBD datasets and future NHDPlus HR Refresh products. Markup review and status changes will be handled through
the Markup Reviewer tool - ArcGIS Add-in tool available to NHD and WBD stewards and editors.<o:p></o:p></p>
