Watersheds of the Northwest Boreal

This dataset uses (1) fundamental drainage areas (FDA, NRCAN 2003) and (2) Hydrologic Units 8-digits (HUC8, USGS 2014). The boundaries of the FDAs and HUC8s have been modified to follow the boundaries of the catchments in the NWB LCC Catchments Version 1.0 dataset (BEACONs 2015). REFERENCES BEACONs. 2015.
