Scripts for generating basins #68

Open corviday opened 11 months ago

corviday commented 11 months ago

The Salmon Climate Impacts Portal uses a hierarchical model of watersheds. A "watershed" is a small section of river or stream. Each watershed belongs to a "basin," which is a major river like the Fraser. These scripts generate shapefiles for the "basins" from the "watersheds".

The plan is to use this data to help a used find which watershed they care about - they start by selecting a river (basin) and then they can look through its tributaries (watersheds) to find the area they're interested in, or view data for the entire basin, if they prefer.

resolves #67

These scripts are unintentionally stripping projection information out of the shapefile and should be updated to not do that.
