The National Hydro Network (NHN) focuses on providing a quality geometric description and a set of basic attributes describing Canada`s inland surface waters. It provides geospatial digital data compliant with the NHN Standard such as lakes, reservoirs, watercourses (rivers and streams), canals, islands, drainage linear network, toponyms or geographical names, constructions and obstacles related to surface waters, etc. The best available federal and provincial data are used for its production, which is done jointly by the federal and interested provincial and territorial partners. The NHN is created from existing data at the 1:50 000 scale or better.

Boundaries of NHN Work Unit (nhn:nhn:drainageareas:nhnda)
The original NHN Work Unit Limits were created based on the Water Survey of Canada Sub-Sub-Drainage Areas (WSCSSDA) and Fundamental Drainage Areas (FDA) from the Atlas of Canada. They are being modified and refined as better provincial source data is brought into the data production process following NHN partnerships between federal and provincial/territorial agencies.
