DNR Level 02 Watersheds are a new, non-legacy watershed delineation dataset representing the 2nd hydrologic unit level of the DNR watershed hierarchal system. These watershed delineations are suitable for regional and statewide GIS analysis, database tiling, reference, business reporting, small scale mapping and other business needs associated with hydrologic systems.
These polygons provide a means for organizing land use and related data in a manner which is useful for hydrologic studies and watershed based decision-making. |

These data consists of watershed delineations in one seamless dataset of drainage areas called Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Level 02 Watersheds. DNR Level 02 Watersheds are the largest administrative Minnesota watershed unit delineation existing at the 2nd defined level in the Minnesota DNR watershed unit hierarchy. These modern DNR Level 02 Watersheds are derived from the DNR Catchment base-watershed dataset and have been clipped to the Minnesota state boundary. Unlike DNR Levels 01, 04 (Major), and 07 (Minor) Watersheds, DNR Level 02 watersheds have no corresponding legacy dataset.

- This data is not the same as any MN DNR legacy dataset. This modern DNR Level 02 dataset was derived directly from the DNR Catchment layer. The user of this data is encouraged to review the metadata entry for the DNR Watersheds Level 08 - All Catchments dataset for more detailed information. <br>
- The DNR Level 02 Watershed dataset is specific to the state of Minnesota and is not part of the USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD). |
