Abstract

This layer was converted to a shapefile from a Esri File Geodatabase from Open Canada Portal, https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/c20d97e7-60d8-4df8-8611-4d499a796493 .

The “PFRA Sub-basins of the AAFC Watersheds Project – 2013” dataset is a geospatial data layer containing polygon features representing the 47 sub-basins within the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Watersheds Project, tailored for the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration (PFRA) business needs.

Purpose

Originally, the Project was to generate a drainage area database intended to provide the basis for updating regional flood and runoff studies. The database was available to all potential users. Over the years many geospatial data layers have evolved. These PFRA sub-basins were provided for hydrologic analyses to meet their business needs. They are available to others for hydraulic analyses, the generation of hydrologic datasets, and for creating maps for watershed management or other types of project.
