Area coveredDescriptionThe Ontario Watershed Boundaries (OWB) collection represents the authoritative watershed boundaries for Ontario. The data is based on a framework similar to the Atlas of Canada Fundamental Drainage Areas and the United States Watershed Boundary Dataset, however it adopts a more stringent scientific approach to watershed delineation. The Ontario Watershed Boundaries (OWB) collection includes five data classes:OWB Main (OWB) (Download: Shapefile | File Geodatabase | Open Data Service | QGIS Layer )all watershed levels from primary to quaternary, and level 5 and 6 watersheds for select areas of the province;OWB Primary (OWBPRIM) (Download: SHP | FGDB | ODS | QLR-Diverted Flow | QLR-Natural Flow)all primary watersheds or major drainage areas (WSCMDA) in the Canadian classification;OWB Secondary (OWBSEC) (Download: SHP | FGDB | ODS | QLR*)all secondary watersheds or sub drainage areas (WSCSDA);OWB Tertiary (OWBTERT) (Download: SHP | FGDB | ODS | QLR*)all tertiary watersheds or sub-sub drainage areas (WSCSSDA);OWB Quaternary (OWBQUAT) (Download: SHP | FGDB | ODS | QLR)all quaternary watersheds or 6-digit drainage areas (WSC6).*Display issues in QGIS are currently being investigated for these services. See the RSS feed below for details.IMPORTANT NOTE: The OWB data replaces the following data classes:Provincial Watersheds, HistoricalAdditional DocumentationUser Guide for Ontario Watershed Boundaries (Word)Watershed Delineation Principles and Guidelines for Ontario (Word) Atlas of Canada 1,000,000 National Frameworks Data, Hydrology - Fundamental Drainage Areas United States Geological Survey Watershed Boundary Dataset (Website)
Status Completed: Production of the data has been completed
Maintenance and Update Frequency Irregular: data is updated in intervals that are uneven in duration - usually after the completion of major updates to source data (e.g. OIH), but could also include spot updates and expansion of the dataset over time based on user needs.
