Each river basin has been subdivided into the drainage areas of the major streams in the basin. The Little Blue and the South Platte river basins have as few as four divisions while the Republican River Basin has 17. Consequently, the second group of two-digit numbers range from 01 to 17 for each river basin numbered in upstream order.
The last two-digit number further subdivides the major stream divisions into the BHU. These numbers range from 01 to 99. Although these last two digits were originally numbered in upstream order, revisions made during the delineation, digitization, processing, and verification processes and subsequent updates required that basic unit numbers sometimes be added or removed. As a result, these numbers are no longer necessarily in upstream order.
