The National Hydro Network is coming!
September 19, 2007
On October 1st 2007, a brand new geospatial product will make its entry on the GeoBase Web portal: the National Hydro Network (NHN). The NHN, which describes and models features of the inland surface-water system of Canada, will progressively become available throughout Canada, reaching national coverage as soon as 2008. Upon its launching, 287 watersheds will be available. These are located in British Columbia (246 watersheds), Manitoba (28), Newfoundland (5), Saskatchewan (2) and in the Yukon (6) accounting for about 20% of the Canadian landmass. The NHN is a topographic data product, primarily designed to allow hydrographic network analysis. It is intended for water flow analysis, water and watershed management, environmental and hydrographical applications as well as for a multitude of cartographic applications. The NHN is coming...
