Title
Waterbody 5M - Lakes Rivers and Glaciers in Canada - CanVec Series - Hydrograph…
Abstract

Polygon feature describing a body of water.

Part of Lakes and rivers in Canada - CanVec – Hydro Features. Layer presented at the 5M scale. Different scales can be found on the Open Canada Portal, https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/9d96e8c9-22fe-4ad2-b5e8-94a6991b744b .

The hydrographic features of the CanVec series include watercourses, water linear flow segments, hydrographic obstacles (falls, rapids, etc.), waterbodies (lakes, watercourses, etc.), permanent snow and ice features, water wells and springs.

The Hydrographic features theme provides quality vector geospatial data (current, accurate, and consistent) of Canadian hydrographic phenomena. It aims to offer a geometric description and a set of basic attributes on hydrographic features that comply with international geomatics standards, seamlessly across Canada.

The CanVec multiscale series is available as prepackaged downloadable files and by user-defined extent via a Geospatial data extraction tool.

Purpose

CanVec is a digital cartographical reference product produced by Natural Resources Canada. It originates from the best available data sources covering Canadian territory,  offers quality topographical information in vector format and complies with international geomatics standards. CanVec is a multi-source product coming mainly from the National  Topographic Data Base (NTDB), the Mapping the North process conducted by the Canada Center for Mapping and Earth Observation (CCMEO), the Atlas of Canada data, the GeoBase initiative  and the data update using satellite imagery coverage (e.g. Landsat 7, Spot, Radarsat, etc). CanVec contains more than 60 topographical features organized into 8 themes: Transport Features,  Administrative Features, Hydro Features, Land Features, Man-Made Features, Elevation Features, Resource Management Features and Toponymic Features.
