UWSCatCH extends and enhances the Urban Water Blueprint (McDonald et al., 2014) for a selection of 116 cities (population 150,000) and their associatedsurface water supply catchments in the conterminous United States. The two major enhancements to the Urban Water Blueprint are: [1] estimates of the relativecontributions of each surface water catchment to each citys average water supply (as well as updated estimates of any contributions from groundwater); [2] NHDplusV2reach codes for each water supply intake stream location and associated average flow estimates (regulated and unregulated) (local upstream USGS gage IDs are also provided).UWSCatCH also features a raster file with spatially distributed (1/24 grid) runoff (average of 1980 - 2012 reanalysis simulation) which ismasked to watershed polygons(included as a shapefile) to explore spatial distribution of average runoff generation affecting each city. UWSCatCH is designed for use in the R package gamut(https://github.com/IMMM-SFA/gamut), and may be applied in a variety of regional and national scale research studies concerning drinking water supply to major US cities.
