National Hydro Network update!
February 13, 2008
2008 promises to be a dynamic year for GeoBase and its development of Canadian drainage area data in the National Hydro Network (NHN).
By December, national coverage of nearly 1,100 NHN drainage areas will be available on the GeoBase Web site.
Stay tuned for:
- 800 drainage areas, up from the current 287 areas, to be released on March 20 in celebration of World Water Day on March 22;
- A new NHN data web viewer service;
- A new national index of NHN drainage basin limits;
- Three additional data releases of about 100 areas each in June, October and December to complete the NHN national coverage.
More details on the NHN, along with current NHN data available without cost or restrictions, and under common licensing terms, can be accessed here.
