Water refers to the State's network of both natural and constructed water features, ensuring data represents their extent, position, and primary characteristics for informative display and reference.
This theme includes the following feature classes:
· Waterbody Areas
· Waterbody Points
· Watercourses Lines
· Waterfalls
Automatically derived data product

A Persistent Feature Identifier (PFI) is generated for each feature at the point of creation in the database. The value of the PFI will stay with the feature through all changes to the feature (both spatial and non-spatial) until the feature is retired. (See Persistent and Unique Feature Identifiers)

SHORELINE
Definition: The line where the land meets a designated waterbody area on the mainland, and on marine or terrestrial islands.
Alternate Terms: |
· Automatically generated from the associated waterbody areas. · Capture as a 2D polyline · Shorelines do no cross other shorelines e.g., where two watercourse area features meet, the common line is called a Feature Type “Shoreline Junction”. · Shorelines are not captured coincident with a Feature Type “Dam Wall Major” · Shorelines are not captured when coincident with a Feature Type “Coastline Junction”
|
SHORELINE JUNCTION
Definition: The artificial line between two adjoining waterbody areas.
Alternate Terms:
|
· Automatically generated from the associated waterbody areas · Capture as a 2D polyline · No “Shoreline Junction” Feature Type is captured when coincident with a “Coastline Junction” Feature Type · The attribute Junction Code is determined by the Upper_scale value of the associated Shoreline feature. The codes are:
UPPER_SCALE JUNCTION_CODE · 1:25 000 · 1:100 000 · 1:250 000 · 1:1 000 00 · 1:2 500000 · 1:5 000000 · 1:10 00000 · 1 · 2 · 3 · 4 · 5 · 6 · 7
· Where two waterbody areas meet and they have a different Upper_scale value, the Junction Code of both features will be the larger Junction Code. e.g., if a 1:1 000 000 waterbody areas meets a 1:25 000 waterbody area, the Junction Code of both features will be 4. · No Shoreline Junction feature is shown between two waterbody areas that have the same Upper_scale value.
