Watershed Explorer
A spatial tool for the watersheds and waterways of Western Canada — British Columbia, Alberta, Yukon, and the adjacent basins. It is being built in three layers, each usable before the next arrives.
-
Interactive hydrological map Pan and zoom over watershed boundaries, stream networks, named watercourses, and hydrometric stations, on a terrain hillshade.
-
Query and identify Click a location to identify its watershed and basic attributes; search by watercourse or basin name; read upstream and downstream context.
-
Conversational layer A panel over the map answering plain-language questions about watersheds and waterways.
