Beaver Dam
This dataset contains linear features constructed by beavers. The linear features are captured to scale on: * single line rivers * lakes * double line rivers We are no longer updating this data. It is best suited for historical research and analysis.
New Brunswick Hydrographic Network (NBHN)
Surface drainage features including rivers, streams, lakes, islands, and watershed boundaries including names for many rivers and streams. Individual components of this dataset can be found on DNRED’s Open Data Catalogue. Those individual components may be more up-to-date than those used in this packaged dataset.
Salmon Rivers Presence, Maritimes Region
The names of these rivers in the Bay of Fundy and Port Hawkesbury Area Response Plan (ARP) regions were obtained from Recovery Potential Assessments (see references), and cross referenced with the Atlas of Canada hosted online by Natural Resources Canada. These rivers were then identified and marked in ArcGIS using the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick Hydrographic Networks. Point features were used to represent the river mouths. For rivers large enough to be represented by polygon features, the point was placed where the polygon closed the inlet. For smaller rivers represented by a polyline, the point was placed where the line intersected the coastline. When multiple tributaries of a river were identified as salmon rivers, only the most seaward was marked.Cite this data as: Corrigan, S. Data of: Salmon Rivers Presence, Maritimes Region.

Monitoring the quality of river and river water
The theme on physicochemical monitoring of rivers and rivers presents data from all stations in networks monitoring water quality in rivers in Quebec and the St. Lawrence River.The purpose of networks for monitoring general water quality is to characterize, using current physicochemical and bacteriological parameters, the quality of water in spatial terms and to monitor the evolution of this quality over time. For the regular monitoring of the general quality of river and river water, the parameters measured are: total phosphorus, total nitrogen, nitrites and nitrates, ammonia nitrogen, chlorophyll a, pheopigments, faecal coliforms, faecal coliforms, turbidity, suspended matter, pH, conductivity, dissolved organic carbon and temperature. This data is used to calculate the Bacteriological and Physicochemical Water Quality Index (IQBP), a water quality classification index.The data set on physicochemical monitoring of rivers and rivers also includes the drainage areas of some of the stations. The attribute table provides a compilation of land use by category for the last year available at the time the data was generated. Follow-up is carried out annually.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
Yukon canadian heritage rivers
The Canadian Heritage Rivers System (CHRS) is Canada's national river conservation program. Established in 1984, the CHRS gives national recognition to Canada's outstanding rivers and encourages their long term management to conserve their natural, cultural and recreational values for the benefit and enjoyment of Canadians, now and in the future. There are currently 42 Canadian Heritage Rivers, 4 are in the Yukon. For more information about CHRS refer to [https://chrs.ca/en](https://chrs.ca/en)Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yukon](https://yukon.ca/maps) .

Freshwater Atlas Linear Boundaries
All bank edges (of rivers, lakes, and wetlands), delimiter edges, glacier edges, and administrative boundary edges. These are the linear features that makeup the polygonal waterbodies
Salmon Rivers Geodatabase - by DFO Detachment (NL Region)
This dataset was developed to provide a complete record of salmon rivers within the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is organized by DFO detachment area and can be used for resource planning and management purposes. It is suitable for general mapping, visualization and query. It is derived from the National Hydro Network (NHN) data.The geodatabase contains feature datasets for each of the 8 DFO detachments in Newfoundland and Labrador (Bay Roberts, Clarenville, Goose Bay, Marystown, Rocky Harbour, Springdale, Stephenville, Twillingate). Each of the feature datasets contain 4 feature classes that describe aspects of the salmon rivers within each detachment area. The RiverBasins feature class contains polygons outlining the extent of each of the salmon river watersheds that fall within that DFO detachment area. Polygons were delineated using provincial DEMs, National Hydro Network (NHN) river features, the DFO detachment area boundary, and tools contained in the ArcHydro toolset for ArcPro GIS software. The SalmonNetwork feature class contains lines which show the flow (undirected) of the river network through each of the salmon river watersheds that fall within that DFO detachment area. The flow is depicted by lines that run through rivers and streams and through waterbodies. The lines were imported from the National Hydro Network (Primary Directed Flow feature class) and then organized by salmon river watershed, to create a dataset with one line feature for each watershed. The SalmonRivers feature class contains lines which show salmon rivers within each of the salmon river watersheds that fall within that DFO detachment area. The lines were imported from the National Hydro Network (SLWater feature class) and then organized by salmon river watershed, to create a dataset with one line feature for each watershed. Only "single-line" rivers are included. Larger, "two-sided" rivers are depicted as polygons in the "Salmon Waterbodies" dataset.This SalmonWaterbodies feature class contains polygons which show salmon waterbodies within each of the salmon river watersheds that fall within that DFO detachment area. The polygons were imported from the National Hydro Network (Waterbody feature class) and then organized by salmon river watershed, to create a dataset with one polygon feature for each watershed. Larger, "two-sided" rivers are also depicted as polygons in the "Salmon Waterbodies" dataset.The geodatabase contains attribute information on the name, zone and class of each salmon river as reflected in the following documents: (i) Anglers' Guide - Scheduled Salmon Rivers of Newfoundland and Labrador and (ii) Conservation and Protection - Scheduled Salmon Rivers & DFO Detachment Regions Newfoundland and Labrador. It also provides links to online information on current in-season status
Electrofishing Data from Nova Scotian Rivers (SFA 18A, 18B)
PURPOSE:To track juvenile Atlantic salmon densities.DESCRIPTION:Indices of freshwater production are derived annually from electrofishing surveys in the rivers of Nova Scotia flowing into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Fixed site sampling for juvenile salmon has been conducted most consistently since the mid-1980s for these rivers. Juvenile salmon abundances at sites, in terms of number of fish per habitat area sampled by age or size group (densities), are obtained using successive removal sampling or catch per unit effort sampling calibrated to densities. Sampling intensities vary among years and among rivers.PARAMETERS COLLECTED:distribution (ecological); species counts (ecological); point (spatial)USE LIMITATION:To ensure scientific integrity and appropriate use of the data, we would encourage you to contact the data custodian.
