GIS layers reflecting large scale (1:2k, 1:10k) surface water features of the Niagara Watershed such as waterbodies (lakes, ponds, reservoirs, large rivers, marshland), rivers, streams, creeks, ditches, hydronet basins and catchments, watersheds and subwatersheds. These data help identify and map surface water interactions with water and wastewater systems and other municipal infrastructure (storm water systems, culverts, bridges).
