Physical Components of Watersheds

Physical Components of Watersheds is an open dataset from Natural Resources Canada with 4 files (ZIP, JP2, OTHER); catalogue record updated 2022-03-14. On CanQuery you can follow the original downloads. Files are available in English and French.

The physical components of a watershed are rivers, lakes, ponds and reservoirs, groundwater aquifers, snowpacks, glaciers, ice fields, wetlands and precipitation. This map shows the different hydrological components of a watershed, some physical components that affect watersheds and some components that describe watersheds. The original map consisted of several optional layers to show the characteristics of the physical environment that effected or affected watersheds. Only layers from the original map that could be viewed simultaneously without loss of information are mapped. Refer to the map text for the complete list of the physical components of watersheds that were originally mapped.
