National Hydro Network celebrates UN World Water Day by adding a new data format
March 16, 2010
In celebration of United Nations World Water Day on March 22, National Hydro Network's (NHN) own contribution is the release of a brand new data format added to its product line of NHN distribution formats. In fact, from now on, NHN product data can be downloaded in ESRI File Geodatabase (FGDB) format, in addition to GML (Geography Markup Language), ESRI Shapefile and KML (Keyhole Markup Language) formats already offered. This new FGDB format is offered with an ESRI ArcMap MXD Project file, which makes NHN data much more easily usable, notably because of the data structure, symbology or graphical semiology and already built-in geometric network it contains. Canada's national coverage of NHN data is now fully available in this new format. All this is accessible at no cost on GeoBase portal.
For more details and to access available data, please see the National Hydro Network section.
