Description:
- Abstract:
-
This ESRI polygon coverage delimits the areas within the extent of the dataset which are non-contributing for a median (1:2) annual runoff.
Purpose:
-
To supply the thematic layer of non-contributing drainage areas of the PFRA Watershed Project for hydroligic analyses and mapping in watershed management across the Canadian prairies. They are the areas which do not contribute to downstream accumulations of stream flow for a median (1:2) annual runoff.

- Attribute_Label:
- SUB_EC
- Attribute_Definition:
-
Name of Environment Canada sub-basin. This 3-character attribute is based on the first 3 characters of Environment Canada's gauging station names. The name is designed to be hierarchical. Stations whose names share the first 3 characters, are meant to share a common "reach" in the drainage system. Note: Some gauges were labelled in a mistaken "reach". As a result, there are some gauging stations whose first 3 name characters will not match their sub_ec string. As well, Provincial gauging stations with a 6 digit number ie (059-012) have been assigned to their proper 3 character sub_ec "reach".

NON-CONTRIBUTING AREA: The sum of the non-contributing areas (in sq. kms) within the incremental area of a hydrometric gauging station. "Non-contributing" areas DO NOT contribute to downstream accumulations of streamflow for a median (1:2) annual runoff. An incremental area is the catchment between a selected hydrometric gauging station and the next upstream station(s).
