Title:
Hydrometric Gauging Station Network

Description:

Abstract:
The network for the hydrometric gauging stations of the PFRA Watershed Project is a coverage of arcs, whose nodes match the location of the Project's hydrometric gauging stations. The arcs act as connectors between all the gauging stations. The connection is directional downstream.

Purpose:

To supply the thematic layer of the network linking the hydrometric gauging stations of the PFRA Watershed Project for hydroligic analyses and mapping in watershed management across the Canadian prairies.

Attribute_Label:
GROSS_ONLY
Attribute_Definition:
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.
