Feature Catalogue Description
Feature Types #1
Feature Type Name WHSE_WATER_MANAGEMENT.HYDZ_HYDROLOGICZONE_SP
Feature Type Description Hydrologic zone boundaries were digitized from 1:600,000 hardcopy maps. Coastline & islands were copied from 1:50K BC WSA. Linework updated January 2003. Polygons & Regions built September 20, 2004. Boundaries accuracy is +/- 1 kilometre based on hydrologic maps, graphical plots, & previous definitions. Warning: Subject to change pending the completion of hydrologic subzone definitions and data not yet analyzed.
