Infographic explaining the hierarchy of the United States hydrologic unit system. Originally a four-tier system divided into regions, sub-regions, accounting units, and cataloging units, each unit was assigned a unique Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC). As first implemented the system had 21 regions, 221 subregions, 378 accounting units, and 2,264 ...
A hydrological code or hydrologic unit code is a sequence of numbers or letters (a geocode) that identify a hydrological unit or feature, such as a river, river reach, lake, or area like a drainage basin (also called watershed in North America) or catchment.
A water resource region is the first level of classification used by the United States Geological Survey to divide and sub-divide the United States into successively smaller hydrologic units as part of the U.S. hydrologic unit system. This first level of classification divides the United States into 21 major geographic areas, or regions.
The South Coast Hydrologic Subregion is composed of three third-level hydrological units. The federally-defined Southern California Coastal water resource subregion equates roughly with the state-designated South Coast hydrologic region. Per a USGS report of 1976, "Water deficiency is prevalent in the South Coastal subregion."

The Laguna–San Diego Coastal water resource basin is a third-level subdivision of the United States hydrologic unit system. [1] The tiers of the classification system, in order from largest to smallest, are regions, subregions, basins (formerly accounting units), subbasins (formerly cataloging units), watersheds, and subwatersheds. These ...
There are two water resource basin subdivisions of the Northern Mojave–Mono Lake subregion (HUC 1809). Northern Mojave–Mono Lake water resource subregion (HUC 1809) is one of 10 water resource subregions within the California water resource region and is one of 222 water resource subregions in the federally organized United States hydrologic unit system.
This category is for top-level hydrologic units, called water resource regions, as defined by the USGS. Although US focused, some regions include parts of Canada and Mexico . The main article for this category is water resource region .
