Erratum Mayhood & Killeen 2024: Corrected Watershed Assessment for Highwood-Loomis Creek

FWR Freshwater Research Limited Technical Report 2024/03-1 provides a corrected watershed assessment for proposed logging in upper Highwood-Loomis Creek from 2023-2025. The erratum corrects watercourse length by 240 meters and reduces the count of post-logging stream crossings by one in sub-watershed H6. The dataset includes the corrected pre- and post-logging Interior Watershed Assessment Procedure Level 1 calculations.

Use Cases

• Recalculate watershed metrics based on corrected watercourse length and stream crossing data.
• Model hydrological impacts of clearcut logging using the updated Interior Watershed Assessment Procedure Level 1 data.
• Assess habitat connectivity and risk for Bull Trout based on corrected stream network features.

Strengths

• Specific correction details are provided, including a 240-meter reduction in watercourse length.
• The report is associated with a formal technical publication (FWR Technical Report No. 2024/03-1).
• The dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting open sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 2.6 MB ZIP file; the specific data format and row count are unknown.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific study area in Alberta, Canada.
