|
| STATION_NU |
Gauging Station Number |
The alpha-numeric 'number' assigned to a gauging station. Example: 05AB0123. |
| STATION_NA |
Gauging Station Name EN |
The name assigned to gauging station. Example: Rogers Creek |
| STATION_NO |
Gauging Station Name FR |
The name assigned to gauging station. Example: le ruisseau Rogers |
| STATION_TY |
Gauging Station Type |
Type of gauging station. |
| PRIMACY_GA |
Primacy Code |
Indicates whether or not a gauging station is a designated 'primary' station. In these cases, one of the stations is designated the 'primary' station for calculation purposes and to maintain proper flow relationships between stations. |
| SUBSUBBASI |
Sub-sub-basin Code |
The Standard Drainage Area Classification (SDAC) 2003 sub-subdrainage area designation assigned to a gauging station. The 4- character designation is the first four characters in the gauging station’s ‘number' associated with the SDAC sub-sub-basin. |
| SUBBASIN_C |
Sub-basin Code |
The Standard Drainage Area Classification (SDAC) 2003 sub-drainage area designation assigned to a gauging station. The 3-character designation is the first three characters in the gauging station’s ‘number' associated with the SDAC sub-basin |
| SUBBASIN_P |
PFRA Sub-basin Name EN |
The Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration (PFRA) sub-basin name associated with a gauging station. These sub-basins were established for PFRA business requirements within the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Watersheds Project. |
| SUBBASIN_1 |
PFRA Sub-basin Name FR |
The Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration (PFRA) sub-basin name associated with a gauging station. These sub-basins were established for PFRA business requirements within the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Watersheds Project. |
| MAJOR_BASI |
Major Basin Name EN |
The Water Survey of Canada's designated 'major basin' of the gauging station. These basins are associated with major river or lake reaches (for example, reaches of the Saskatchewan or Athabasca River). |
| MAJOR_BA_1 |
Major Basin Name FR |
The Water Survey of Canada's designated 'major basin' of the gauging station. These basins are associated with major river or lake reaches (for example, reaches of the Rivière Saskatchewan or Rivière Athabasca River). |
| MAJOR_SYST |
Major System Name EN |
The Water Survey of Canada's designated 'major system' in which the gauging station is located. Within the Project area, they include Arctic Ocean, Hudson Bay or Gulf of Mexico. |
| MAJOR_SY_1 |
Major System Name FR |
The Water Survey of Canada's designated 'major system' in which the gauging station is located. Within the Project area, they include Océan Arctique, Baie d'Hudson or Golfe du Mexique. |
| AGENCY_ABB |
Authority |
The hydrometric jurisdictional authority responsible for naming the gauging station. |
| REGION_ABB |
Political Jurisdiction |
The political jurisdiction in which a gauging station is located. Can be a Canadian province or territory, or the United States (abbreviated). |
| XY_GEO_COO |
Latitude and Longitude |
The geographic (latitude and longitude) coordinates of the location of a gauging station. |
| LAND_LOCAT |
Legal Land Description |
The legal land description of the parcel of land on which the gauging station sits - based on township surveys, Dominion Land Survey, or other land survey system. |
| INCR_GROSS |
Incremental Gross Drainage Area (sq. km) |
The planar area (in square kilometres) of an incremental gross drainage area. An incremental gross drainage area is defined as ‘the area of a gauging station's (total) drainage area, less that of the next upstream station(s)’. |
| INCR_EFFEC |
Incremental Effective Drainage Area (sq. km) |
The planar area (in square kilometres) of the portion of the incremental gross drainage area expected to contribute to an average runoff. An incremental gross drainage area is defined as ‘the area of a gauging station's (total) drainage area, less that of |
| INCR_NON_C |
Sum of Non-contributing Areas of an Incremental Gross Drainage Area (sq. km) |
The planar area (in square kilometres) of the portion of an incremental gross drainage area NOT expected to contribute to an average runoff. An incremental gross drainage area is defined as ‘the area of a gauging station's (total) drainage area, less that |
| TOTAL_GROS |
Total Gross Drainage Area (sq. km) |
The maximum upstream planar area (in square kilometres) of a gauging station that could contribute surface runoff. |
| TOTAL_EFFE |
Total Effective Drainage Area (sq. km) |
The planar area (in square kilometres) of the portion of the total gross drainage area expected to contribute to an average runoff. |
| TOTAL_NON_ |
Sum of Non-contributing Areas of a Total Gross Drainage Area (sq. km) |
The planar area (in square kilometres) of the portion of the total gross drainage area NOT expected to contribute to an average runoff. |
| UNIQUE_STA |
Unique Station Identifier |
Used to differentiate between historic locations of the same station. It is created by appending a sequential index number to the Station Number, ex. 05AB123_1. |
