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 Geographic Information System (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 North American Datum (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.
