20210626 00043900 1.0 TRUE FWMIS River and Stream By Feature Type This layer contains the representation of the FWMIS waterbody arcs. This layer is not visible when zoomed out beyond 1:433,342. The FWMIS Hydrology Arcs are used to identify spatial representation of streams and rivers within the province of Alberta. This layer provides fish species presence (both current and historic), Fish and Wildlife Management Information System (FWMIS) Waterbody ID, Waterbody Official and Common Names, and Strahler Stream Order information. FWMIS Waterbody ID's are unique values assigned to mapped waterbodies with or without fish or fish habitat survey information (both current and historic). The Fish and Wildlife Management Information System (FWMIS) - Hydrology Arcs is a derived dataset from the Base Features Derived Simplified Linear Network, which is a derived dataset of the Single Line Hydrography Network (Base Stream and Flow Representation) dataset. The FWMIS Hydrology Arcs has been modified for Fish and Wildlife business purposes, where spatial adjustments and field attributes have been added or removed as required. Modifications include, but are not limited to, the addition of a 'Species Presence' field, edits to spatial and aspatial components, removal of topological error, and semi-annual maintenance as required. The FWMIS Hydropolygons are based off of the Base Features Waterbody Polygon (Base Waterbody Polygon) dataset and are used to identify spatial representation of mapped waterbodies within the province of Alberta. This layer provides fish species presence (both current and historic), Fish and Wildlife Management Information System (FWMIS) Waterbody ID, and Waterbody Official and Common Name. FWMIS Waterbody ID's are unique values assigned to mapped waterbodies with or without fish or fish habitat survey information (both current and historic).

GOVERNMENT OF ALBERTA MINISTERIES: Government of Alberta Ministries and authorized agencies may conditionally use this data for internal business purposes which includes conditional sharing of the data with other third parties (i.e., contractors, stakeholders) if necessary for reasonable use of the data relating to the provision of services to the Crown as represented by each Ministry. Species Presence represents a historic listing of fish species that have been sampled in a particular body of water and/or what species have been captured/stocked as a result of a fisheries inventory. Any species listed indicates it was captured/measured anywhere along that waterbody, and not a specific location. At time of use, the user assumes all responsibility for discrepancies with data contained in FWMIS. FWMIS/FWIMT is the official holder of all fisheries inventory data, and should be consulted as the sole source of fisheries survey information.
