Fish and Wildlife Management Information System (FWMIS) Hydrology Polygons 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), FWMIS Waterbody ID, and Waterbody Official and Common Name. FWMIS Waterbody IDs are unique values assigned to mapped waterbodies with or without fish or fish habitat survey information (both current and historic). |

|
Hydrography polygons were collected from 1:20 000, 1:50 000 and AVI Provincial dataset and 1:50 000 National Topographic Data Base (NTDB). Base Features Waterbody Polygon (BASEFEAT.BF_HYDRO_POLYGON, Base Waterbody Polygon) is the Alberta Environment and Parks base hydrography polygon dataset, and comprises seamless provincial extent hydrography polygon features collected from various sources of provincial base and resource map based data and some federal topographic data. FWMIS Hydropolygon has been modified for Fish and Wildlife business purposes, where spatial adjustments and field attributes have been added or removed as required. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>Fish and Wildlife Management Information System (FWMIS) - Hydrology Polygons is a derived dataset from the Base Features Waterbody Polygon (Base Waterbody Polygon) dataset. Base Waterbody Polygon is the Alberta Environment and Protected Areas base hydrography polygon dataset, and comprises seamless provincial extent hydrography polygon features collected from various sources of provincial base and resource map based data and some federal topographic data. FWMIS Hydrology Polygons have 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 non-spatial components, removal of topological error, and semi-annual maintenance as required. Please note that this layer is not suitable for mapping as its intent is to merely provide waterbody information pertaining to fish presence or the possibility of future fish presence findings. Species Presence in this layer represents a generalization of where a particular fish species may occur in a body of water. It should be noted that FWMIS is the ultimate issuer of fisheries inventory data, and information contained thereof is the official dataset.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>Update:</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>- Waterbody names are now provided in 2 separate fields; Official Name, and Common Name as of July 2023</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>- Species Presence as of April 2026</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
