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.
