The Natural Resources Conservation Service's (NRCS) Air and Water Database (AWDB) has recently stood up a REST API to serve it's data to the general public. The documentation page can be found here, this demo was created for an Internet of Water webinar on June 4th, 2024. By studying this demo a user should be able to harness the AWDB REST API for a multitude of hydrological analyses.

A python notebook and script are provided for review and if possible a link to thet webinar will be added here at a later date.

The code relies on the requests, Folium, Pandas, and Vega-Altair python libraries. Though without knowledge of these libraries the code provided should still show a basic level of how one might obtain data from the API and prepare it for use in a different analysis.
