        <idAbs>&lt;p&gt;This geodatabase contains multiple authoritative environmental datasets acquired from the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI), Altalis Inc., Alberta Conservation Information Management System (ACIMS) and the Government of Alberta Open Portal official website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The feature layers provide spatial information pertaining to environmental, administrative and crown land reservation boundaries across the province of Alberta.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a multi-feature layer that consolidates several datasets representing environmental, administrative and crown land reservation boundaries within Alberta. The data were collated and harmonized for integration into ArcGIS Online environment for web experience, visualization and analysis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The feature layers include:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1) Environmentally Significant Areas (ESA, 2009): &amp;nbsp;This layer identifies regions within Alberta that possess unique ecological, biological, or geological features of provincial or regional significance. These areas contribute to biodiversity conservation and provide essential habitats for species at risk. The 2009 ESA dataset is used in environmental impact assessments, regional planning, and conservation prioritization.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2) Crown Land Reservation: This dataset delineates parcels of provincial Crown land reserved for specific purposes, such as recreation, conservation, or future development. It provides spatial context for managing public land allocation and evaluating competing land-use interests.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3) &lt;span&gt;Hydrography Point Update: This point layer provides users with an update of point representation of single location hydrographic features on the landscape. It contains hydrographic point features representing the locations of water or water related features, it is an updated of the Base Features Hydro Points in Southern Alberta from orthophoto and various sources of provincial base data.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;4) Base Stream and Flow Representation: This polyline layer provides users with an update of hydrography SLNET base data layer to support business applications and decision making related to water course features. The Single Line Network (SLNET) layer was designed to provide users with a connected network of single line hydrography.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;5) Base Waterbody Polygon: is the Alberta Environment and Protected Areas base hydrography polygon dataset, it is an updated of the Base Features Hydro Polygons in Southern Alberta from orthophoto and various sources of provincial base data. It provides users with an update of hydrography polygon base data layer to support business applications and decision making related to water bodies and major water courses in Alberta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;6) Base Hydrography: This layer provides users with an update of hydrography polygon base data layer to support business applications and decision making related to water bodies and major water courses in Alberta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7) Alberta Boundary: This layer is a derived polygon depicting the borders and land boundaries of the province of Alberta. This acts a fame of reference for all other layers in the geodatabase and ensures consistency in spatial alignment.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8) Pipelines: This polygon layer depicts pipeline infrastructure in the province of Alberta.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;9) Reservoirs: This polygon layer depicts reservoir infrastructure in the province of Alberta.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10) &lt;span&gt;Fish &amp;amp; Wildlife Enforce Districts: This polygon layer represents the mid tier management areas used for wildlife and fish monitoring compliance and field operations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;11) Soil Correlation Areas: &lt;span&gt;This polygon layer delineates soil correlation areas based on similar soil characteristics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</idAbs>
        <idPurp>This feature layer contains multiple authoritative environmental datasets acquired from Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI), Altalis Inc., Alberta Conservation Information Management System (ACIMS) and the Government of Alberta Open Portal official website. The feature layers provide spatial information pertaining to environmental, infrastructure, administrative and regional boundaries across the province of Alberta. This layer supports environmental visualization, web-based mapping, and analytical applications focused on habitat conservation, land-use planning, and protected areas management.</idPurp>
