Abstract: All available bathymetry and related information for Touchwood Lake were collected and hard copy maps digitized where necessary. The data were validated against more recent data (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission 'SRTM' imagery and Indian Remote Sensing 'IRS' imagery) and corrected where necessary. The published data set contains the lake bathymetry formatted as an Arc ascii grid. Bathymetric contours and the boundary polygon are available as shapefiles.

Abstract:
All available bathymetry and related information for Touchwood Lake were collected and hard copy maps
digitized where necessary. The data were validated against more recent data (Shuttle Radar Topography
Mission 'SRTM' imagery and Indian Remote Sensing 'IRS' imagery) and corrected where necessary. The published
data set contains the lake bathymetry formatted as an Arc ascii grid. Bathymetric contours and the boundary
polygon are available as shapefiles.
Purpose:
This dataset was created to preserve historical data for Touchwood Lake and to make the data available in
digital form.

Alberta Environment and the Alberta Geological Survey for supporting the project; GISmo Solutions Ltd. for
creating the digital product from the hard copy maps and other data sources.

Description:
The bathymetry for Touchwood Lake was digitized. Depths (in metres) were converted to elevations. The
original boundary for the lake was retained. The water level of the lake was set to 632.2m (from the
Base Features data). This value was confirmed by data from the most recent data sources.
Date and time:
2004-01-01T00:00:00
Process step:

Description:
The lake bathymetry shapefile data tables supplied by the digitizing contractor contained a wide
variety of differently named attributes. In spring 2008, Alberta Geological Survey standardized
these data into two fields: CONTOUR and CALC_DEP_M (see Entity and Attribute section of this
metadata). At that time data were also checked and corrected and/or calculated as required.
