Community Watersheds Query - Help Query
Notes:
-
The community watershed data is captured into our warehouse daily.
-
This data query works best with an Internet Browser that supports tables and forms; e.g., Netscape 1.1 or later.
-
The check boxes and search criteria boxes on this query page enable the user to search for specific information, even if they have little information initially.
-
Only one field needs to be completed and no fields are mandatory.
-
The entry fields are not case sensitive.
-
Please be aware that duplicate community watershed names may appear throughout the province; note the forest district/region and POD to confirm the location.
-
To find information about a community watershed, type into one or more search fields. The more information typed into a field, the more precise the search; e.g., typing 100 in the the Community Watershed Code field will return all community watersheds beginning with 100. Typing 100.054 will return information on the community watershed 100.054.
-
The more fields completed, the more precise the search; e.g., typing 100 in the Community Watershed Code field and typing 9-Aug-96 in the Date field will return only those watersheds with a Community Watershed Code beginning with 100 and have a Desginated Date greater than or equal to 9-Aug-96.
- To select/deselect specific columns of information for output, simply click on the box to the left of each of the input field names.
