In the ... There is one layer called Reservoirs which definition is:

An artificial lake or storage pond resulting from human-made dam. A body of water created by excavation or the man-made damming of a river or stream.

This is one of the datasets I need to identify waterbodies. I need to check the rest of datasets to know which other ones can be used to filter out abandoned wellsites polygons.

That layer can have cases like the following:

Have to look at the definitions in data dictionary document.

I can include the following dataset:

In documentation, it says that it has the following categories:

This land classification raster dataset contains 14 classes: 1 - Water, 2 - Bryoids, 3 - Wetland – Treed, 4 - Herbs, 5 - Exposed/Barren Land, 6 - Shrubland, 7 - Wetland, 8 - Grassland, 9 - Coniferous, 10 - Broadleaf, 11 - Mixedwood, 12 - Agriculture, 13 - Developed, and 14 - Burned Areas.

Using the Land-use/Land-cover Classification of Alberta, Derived from 2020 Sentinel-2 Multispectral Data here, it's based on reflectance data, and there are things that can look like:

Seems fine, but there can be other nuances

In the LCC layer, there are the following categories:

1 = water 3 = wetland - treed 7 = wetland

@rfernand387 should we use just water or all of them?
