EnMoDS: Environmental Monitoring Sampling Locations in British Columbia

Environmental Monitoring Data System point locations show where discrete environmental monitoring may have occurred in British Columbia. Locations include natural settings like rivers and lakes, as well as anthropogenic features such as wells and industrial waste discharges. Observational results for each location are accessible via separate web reporting and data record resources.

Use Cases

• Map the distribution of environmental monitoring sites based on location type and group attributes
• Filter for locations with recent field visits based on the most recent field visit date field
• Analyze the density of monitoring activity in natural versus industrial areas based on described location types
• Cross-reference point locations with separate observational results datasets for integrated analysis

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple formats including GPKG and CSV for flexibility.
• Key attribute fields for filtering are explicitly listed, including location ID, type, group, and observation count.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
