Description:
Base Hydrography Update: this process creates the Single Line Network, HydroPolygons and HydroPoints.
The update is based on existing Base Features Hydrography data, currently available orthophotos,
currently available SPOT imagery and supplementary data such as Wet Areas Mapping and LiDAR. Proper
naming of features in the Single Line Network, Hydropolygons and Hydropoints occur. Single line
representation of the hydropolygons is added to the Single Line Network coverage as well
