Stream Classification & Watershed Delineation for DFMP Submissions

Many important initiatives related to the sustainable natural resources management benefit from accurate delineation of watersheds and classified hydrography information. Management of forest, fish and wildlife, and water resources often depends on common and government approved methodology and classification.

GISmo supports preparation of quality watersheds and related classified information for government agencies (AENV,ASRD,CEMA) , research organizations (ARC,ACA,FMF) and forest companies.

This specific project was to provide accurate Strahler classified watershed boundaries for the Edson and Drayton Valley FMA suitable for forest management planning activities while consistent with government approved approach.

Specific project objectives were to:
Apply Strahler classification to stream network consistently with processes used on government and related projects.
Delineate reasonable accuracy watersheds and create a seamless division of suitable administrative areas.

Hydro-corrected Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and attributed spatial data sets addressed current client’s needs and allowed for creation of expanded and comprehensive structures for future analysis and modeling.
