Attribute Name Label Description
WTRSHDCD50 WATERSHED_CODE_50K The 1:50K Watershed Atlas watershed code associated with the waterbody key 50K.
WTRBDTP WATERBODY_TYPE The type of waterbody. Possible values include: 'L' (lake), 'R' (double lined river), 'W' (wetland), 'X' (manmade river or lake), or 'G' (glacier or icefield).
WTRBDKGRPC WATERBODY_KEY_GROUP_CODE_50K The waterbody key 50K with the group code 50K concatenated.
WTRBDPLD WATERBODY_POLY_ID The WATERBODY POLY ID is the unique key for the waterbody polygon spatial layer. It is not applied to the warehouse model only, i.e., it originates with the source FWA system.
WTRSHDGRP1 WATERSHED_GROUP_CODE_50K The group code from the 1:50K Watershed Atlas associated with the waterbody key 50k.
LCLWTRSHDC LOCAL_WATERSHED_CODE The local watershed code associated with the waterbody.
LFTRGHTTRB LEFT_RIGHT_TRIBUTARY A value attributed via the watershed code to all waterbodies indicating on what side of the watershed they drain into.
FWWTRSHDCD FWA_WATERSHED_CODE The watershed code of the controlling route through the waterbody.
FTRCD FEATURE_CODE FEATURE CODE contains a value based on the Canadian Council of Surveys and Mapping's (CCSM) system for classification of geographic features.
GNSNM2 GNIS_NAME_2 The name of the second BCGNIS (BC Geographical Names Information System) feature id (an English name was used where available, otherwise another language was selected).
AREA_HA AREA_HA Area of polygon (hectares).
BLLNK BLUE_LINE_KEY The blue line key of the controlling route through the waterbody.
GNIS_ID_3 GNIS_ID_3 A third BCGNIS (BC Geographical Names Information System) feature id attached to a waterbody or island, if applicable.
GNIS_ID_2 GNIS_ID_2 A second BCGNIS (BC Geographical Names Information System) feature id attached to a waterbody or island, if applicable.
OBJECTID OBJECTID
WTRBDK50K WATERBODY_KEY_50K The 'best' matched waterbody from the 1:50K Watershed Atlas. In cases where there are multiple matches to features in the 1:50K watershed atlas the match with the greatest overlapping area was used.
GNSNM1 GNIS_NAME_1 The name of the first BCGNIS (BC Geographical Names Information System) feature id (an English name was used where available, otherwise another language was selected).
GNSNM3 GNIS_NAME_3 The name of the third BCGNIS (BC Geographical Names Information System) feature id (an English name was used where available, otherwise another language was selected).
WTRSHDGRPC WATERSHED_GROUP_CODE The watershed group codeof the watershed the feature is contained within.
WTRSHDK WATERSHED_KEY The watershed key of the controlling rout through the waterbody.
WTRBDK WATERBODY_KEY A unique identifier associated with waterbodies in order to group polygons that make up a single waterbody.
GNIS_ID_1 GNIS_ID_1 A BCGNIS (BC Geographical Names Information System) feature id attached to a waterbody or island, if applicable. In a grouped system the feature id of the BCGNIS group is provided here and any subsequent names provided in gnis_id2 and gnis_id3. Note: For
WTRSHDGRPD WATERSHED_GROUP_ID An automatically generate id that uniquely identifies the watershed group feature.
