Title
ISO 19131 AAFC Watersheds Project - 2013 – Data Product Specification
Abstract

The “Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s (AAFC) Watersheds Project - 2013” level series supplies a collection of watershed-related datasets for the Prairie Provinces. The levels are greater or smaller assemblages of drainage areas, or their components. The Project is organized by hydrometric gauging station.

The Project area, designed for the Prairie Provinces, covers all of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and those portions of British Columbia, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Ontario, and the United States required to complete the trans-border portions of Prairie Provinces’ watersheds.

The 16 published datasets are generated from three source working datasets.

Purpose

Originally, the Project was to generate a drainage area database intended to provide the basis for updating regional flood and runoff studies. It was available to all potential users. Over the years many geospatial datasets have evolved. This collection of datasets is useful for hydrologic analyses, dataset development, and creating maps for watershed management projects.
