Abstract

This layer shows the major sub-basins within the Skeena Watershed. The sub-basins are based on the Freshwater Atlas (FWA) Watershed Groups. 
A watershed group provides a means of subdividing the Provincial coverage of the Watershed Atlas into manageable “chunks.” The Watershed Groups are based upon natural watershed boundaries that cover drainage areas comparable to most aquatic management and planning activities. In order to make the Watershed Atlas dataset manageable, it is divided into smaller groupings called Watershed Groups.
