Abstract: All available bathymetry and related information for Beaver 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.

Data quality info:

Data quality: Scope: Scope: Hierarchy level: Scope code: dataset Report: Completeness commission: Result: unknown Report: Completeness omission: Evaluation method description: Unknown. Result: unknown Report: Conceptual consistency: Measure description: Polylines represent bathymetry contours and do not cross or overlap. It is not known whether the lines have directionality, i.e. if they were digitized in a standard direction with respect to the lake shorelines or centres. Result: unknown Lineage: Lineage: Statement: Unknown. Process step: Process step: Description: The bathymetry for Beaver Lake was digitized. Depths in feet were converted to elevations in metres. The original boundary for the lake was retained. The water level of the lake was set to 558.8m (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: 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. Date and time: 2008-01-01T00:00:00
