The Chesapeake Bay watershed can be further divided in sub-watersheds based on state hydrologic units, know as HUCS. State, federal, and local government agencies use hydrologic unitsfor hydrologic palnning and management. Although hydrologic units are de;ineated roughly to follow watersjed lines, they are intended for administrative use rather than to identify surface water drainage patters. New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virgiia, and West Virginia provide hydrologic data to the Chesapeake Bay Program. The boundaries were aggregated by delware are not officially recognized hydrologic units but are watershed boundaries.
