Grand River Watershed Basic Map Layers

Description:

The following datasets were provided in 1998 to the University of Waterloo Library by staff in Wilfrid Laurier University's Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, which supports the Grand River Basin GIS Project. These datasets are available to faculty, students, and staff at the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University for academic teaching and research purposes. Please note that these data are NOT from the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA). A more comprehensive set of Grand River watershed layers, created and maintained by the GRCA, is available for access in the Geospatial Centre as well as online through the Grand River Information Network.

Spatial Reference and Data Type:

These data sets are available in geographic (lat/long) co-ordinates; horizontal datum is NAD 83. These data are stored as Esri shapefiles. Other data formats can be accommodated, as the Geospatial Centre has access to a number of conversion utilities.

Data Manipulation:

There are public workstations in the Geospatial Centre that provide access to both ArcGIS and ArcView software programs, program extensions and data manipulation utilities. Patrons may use the GIS and image processing software in the library to view and manipulate the data. UW faculty, students and staff may copy these data to other media (for example: CD, DVD or Zip disc) for use elsewhere.

Data Output:

This image may be exported from ArcGIS in a choice of bitmapped formats (also known as raster graphics) including JPG, TIFF, GIF, and BMP or in a choice of vector graphics formats including AI, EPS, and SVG. Yet another option is PDF.
