Abstract: This dataset is a subset of the Hydrologic Unit Code Watersheds of Alberta which is produced for the Government of Alberta and is available to the general public. Please consult the Distribution Information of this metadata for the appropriate contact to acquire this dataset. The study area used in the report 'Land use, climate change and ecological responses in the Upper North Saskatchewan and Red Deer River Basins: A Scientific Assessment' encompasses the Upper North Saskatchewan River Basin and part of the Upper Red Deer River Basin. The total area of the study area is 24,677 km² and was delineated using the HUC6 watershed boundaries.Report: http://environmentalmonitoring.alberta.ca/homepage-slider/land-use-climate-change-and-ecological-responses-in-the-upper-north-saskatchewan-and-red-deer-river-basins-a-scientific-assessment/ Please note: this legacy dataset will not be updated.

Data quality: Scope: Scope: Hierarchy level: Scope code: dataset Extent: Extent: Description: Subset of the Hydrologic Unit Code Watersheds of Alberta: HUC6 Report: Topological consistency: Measure description: The underlying data used to create the HUC Watersheds of Alberta are associated with various degrees of accuracy. There may be inconsistency in the spatial accuracy as a result. All HUC Watersheds of Alberta feature classes within the HUC Watersheds of Alberta feature dataset have been topologically reconciled between and within the feature classes for boundary alignment and gaps. The geometry has been checked and repaired. Result: missing Report: Completeness commission: Measure description: This dataset is complete for all feature classes for the province of Alberta. No delineation coarser than HUC level 2 or finer than HUC level 10 is publically available. Result: missing Lineage: Lineage: Statement: Derived from the Hydrologic Unit Code Watersheds of Alberta to support defined project study area. Specificially, Hydrological Unit Code Watershed 6 (HUC6).
