Abstract:
New Hampshire's rivers and streams comprise one of its most important natural resources, historically vital to New Hampshire's commerce, industry, tourism, and the quality of life of New Hampshire people. It is the policy of the state to ensure the continued viability of New Hampshire rivers as valued economic and social assets for the benefit of present and future generations. The state shall encourage and assist in the development of river corridor management plans and regulate the quantity and quality of instream flow along certain protected rivers or segments of rivers to conserve and protect outstanding characteristics including recreational, fisheries, wildlife, environmental, cultural, historical, archaeological, scientific, ecological, aesthetic, community significance, agricultural, and public water supply so that these valued characteristics shall endure as part of the river uses to be enjoyed by New Hampshire people (RSA 483:1).
Purpose:
To complement and reinforce existing state and federal water quality laws, and maintain instream flows along protected rivers, or segments thereof, in a manner that will enhance or not diminish the enjoyment of outstanding river characteristics pursuant to RSA 483:1. It is also the intent that the scenic beauty and recreational potential of such rivers shall be restored and maintained, that riparian interests shall be respected. Coverage updated on 7/31/2018.

Ordering_Instructions:
Most coverages are available through ftp site (see Online Linkage). To address homeland security concerns, access to some of these data sets is available only to users who present a valid personal identification number (PIN) and password. These data sets have an access constraint set to Upon NHDES Approval. Users can apply for a PIN and password using the OneStop Data Retrieval Registration Form (<http://www.des.state.nh.us/gis/onestop/>). Applicants should be very specific when providing information on the registration form to enable NHDES personnel to determine their eligibility. For more information on what criteria is necessary to receive a PIN/password please visit <http://www.des.state.nh.us/factsheets/co/co-14.htm>. Once the applicant has been provided a PIN/Password, the applicant shall be the sole responsible party for the information they receive using the PIN/Password that has been issued to said party. The applicant shall be responsible for the accuracy of the information submitted in a request for a PIN and Password that will allow said applicant to access certain information held by the Department of Environmental Services. The applicant shall understand by submitting a registration form, said applicant shall be responsible for the PIN and Password they receive and for any and all information collected using the PIN and Password, and that NO LIABILITY IS INCURRED BY THE STATE by reason of providing the requested access.

Attribute_Domain_Values:
Enumerated_Domain:
Enumerated_Domain_Value: Rural
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
Rural rivers are those rivers or segments adjacent to lands which are partially or predominantly used for agriculture, forest management and dispersed or clustered residential development. Some instream structures may exist, including low dams, diversion works and other minor modification (RSA 483).

NHDES <http://www.des.state.nh.us/rivers/rsa483.htm#9-a>
Enumerated_Domain:
Enumerated_Domain_Value: Natural
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
Natural rivers are free-flowing rivers or segments characterized by the high quality of natural and scenic resources. River shorelines are in primarily natural vegetation and river corridors are generally undeveloped. Development, if any, is limited to forest management and scattered housing (RSA 483).

Enumerated_Domain:
Enumerated_Domain_Value: Rural-Community
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
Rural-community rivers are those rivers or segments which flow through developed or populated areas of the state and which possess existing or potential community resource values such as those defined in official municipal plans or land use controls. Such rivers have mixed land uses in the corridor reflecting some combination of open space, agricultural, residential, commercial and industrial land uses. Such rivers are readily accessible by road or railroad and may include impoundments or diversions (RSA 483).

Enumerated_Domain_Value: Community
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
Community rivers are those rivers or segments which flow through developed or populated areas of the state and which possess existing or potential community resource values, such as those identified in official municipal plans or land use controls. Such rivers have mixed land uses in the corridor reflecting some combination of open space, agriculture, residential, commercial, and industrial land uses. Such rivers are readily accessible by road or railroad, may include existing impoundments or diversions, or potential sites for new impoundments or diversions for hydropower, flood control or water supply purposes, and may include the urban centers of municipalities (RSA 483).
