Abstract:
The network for the hydrometric gauging stations of the PFRA Watershed Project is an ESRI coverage of arcs, whose nodes match the location of the Project's selected hydrometric gauging stations. The arcs act as connectors between selected gauging stations. The connection is directional downstream. This is a flow network, NOT a stream network. |
Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.
The network for the hydrometric gauging stations of the PFRA Watershed Project is an ESRI coverage of arcs, whose nodes match the location of the Project's selected hydrometric gauging stations. The arcs act as connectors between selected gauging stations. The connection is directional downstream. This is a flow network, NOT a stream network.
To supply the thematic layer of the network linking selected hydrometric gauging stations of the PFRA Watershed Project for hydrologic analyses and mapping in watershed management across the Canadian prairies for Manitoba.

All data has been visually checked for inconsistencies and obvious omissions or errors.
Using the two coverages received from PFRA ( mbnet.e00, and mbarcpnt.e00) and an AML (updatesheds.aml) checked for projection and if not NAD 83 converted to such. Clips the network lines using the gross watershed boundaries for Manitoba.

Standard connection with downstream direction
Specialized connection upstream of the lake outlet. Where lakes have been subdivided by Fedoruk boundaries all stations located on that lake will have the same accumulated areas transferred from the outlet station.

GROSS ONLY INDICATOR: The "gross only" concept is thus: if a drainage area is separated from its downstream counterpart by a non-contributing area, then only the "gross" area should be supplied to downstream stations, not the effective ("contributing") or the non-contributing areas. This boolean field can contain only a 1 or 0. If calculating only the total upstream "gross" area for downstream stations, set the variable to 1. Otherwise, ( calculating gross, non-contributing and effective/"non-contributing" upstream areas for a downstream station), set the variable to 0.
