Dams on Parks Canada Sites and Managed Areas

Parks Canada provides a geospatial dataset showing dam locations on its sites and other dams of interest. The data is not necessarily complete and is scheduled for weekly updates. It is available under the OGL-CA-2.0 license.

Use Cases

• Map dam locations based on the geospatial nature of the data.
• Analyze infrastructure distribution within Parks Canada jurisdictions based on the described scope.
• Monitor water management assets in protected areas based on the dataset's focus.

Strengths

• Data is scheduled for weekly updates, suggesting a commitment to maintenance.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (SHP, CSV, GEOJSON, KML, ESRI REST).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is explicitly noted as not necessarily complete.
