Each state is divided up into hydrologically similar regions with separate regression equations. Once the state is selected, the available regions appear in the text window below the name.
 
===Selecting Overlapping Regions===
 
A user may select the region(s) the study watershed overlaps by clicking on the region name in the Regional regression equations available text window and then '''Select →''' button. The region named will be “moved” to the ''Selected Equations'' text window, and any relevant parameters will be added to the values spreadsheet. If a mistake is made the regional equation can be “moved” back again using the '''← Remove''' button after selecting the ''Selected Equations'' window.
 
The USGS Report has a description and applicable maps for each state. These maps can be used to identify which regions are overlapped by the study watershed. A user can also download one of these maps, register the image, and create an [[WMS:NSS Region Coverage|NSS coverage]]. With an NSS coverage, and providing consistent coordinate systems are used, the overlapping regions can be computed automatically. The NSS tutorial demonstrates how to do this for a state.
