    <descript>
      <abstract>The hydrologic response units (HRUs) available here are for seven applications of the Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin (ACFB) by LaFontaine and others (2017). Geographic Information System (GIS) files for the HRUs in each of the seven model applications (whole ACFB, Chestatee River, Chipola River, Ichawaynochaway Creek, Potato Creek, Spring Creek, and Upper Chattahoochee River) are provided as shapefiles with attributes identifying the numbering convention used in the PRMS models of the ACFB.</abstract>
      <purpose>These data were developed to parameterize applications of the Precipitation Runoff Modeling System in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River basin.</purpose>
