This is a result of a joint State and Commonwealth project to create a national seamless database of major hydrologic basins. This data shows boundary and attribute information for 12 divisions, 77 regions and 245 basins. It also contains, for each basin, information relating to its individual basin/region/division name and number. State borders are also included in the data. Data for Division XIII Distant Islands Division is not included.

These basins are the primary building block for the collection of national hydrologic data and the assessment of water resources.

The data is suitable for GIS applications.
