Hydrographic Features of Edmonton

Hydrographic features (rivers and lakes) within Edmonton. The dataset includes named features and responsible parties, maintained by data.edmonton.ca. It was last updated on March 30, 2026.

Use Cases

• Map hydro_feature_name and hydro_feature_type to analyze the distribution of rivers versus lakes using geometry_multipolygon.
• Identify responsible_party for specific water bodies to coordinate maintenance or regulatory actions.
• Perform spatial joins with other municipal datasets using the id and geometry_multipolygon fields for urban planning.
• Classify hydro_feature_type (e.g., river, lake) based on geometric properties extracted from geometry_multipolygon.

Strengths

• Includes five distinct data columns for feature identification and spatial analysis.
• Links to a related dataset on stormwater management facilities for extended context.

Limitations

• Sample data and total row count are unavailable, preventing assessment of dataset scale.
• Key metadata like license, author, and exact geographic scope beyond 'Edmonton' is unknown.
