NHN Implementation
Although the NHN is implemented under the leadership of the National Hydro Network Project from the Earth Sciences Sector Contribution to GeoBase Program, Natural Resources Canada, its production relies on a national effort that involves many partners, both federal and provincial/territorial.
The questioning and review of the NHN implementation approach, that followed the initial NHN data production in Canada, led to the development of a new NHN Implementation Strategy. This new strategy aims for a progressive creation of the NHN in Canada. In the short-term, its goal is to obtain a national coverage of basic NHN data, followed by a gradual evolution of the product with regard to data content and structure, as well as data updating. This evolution now passes through the concept of NHN completeness levels, which realize the new NHN Implementation Strategy.
