Water areas feature class (Water_Areas)

Tier availability: Essential, Advanced, Premier

The Water_Areas feature class contains polygons that represent water features, including rivers, water channels, lakes, bays/harbours, rivers, intermittent rivers and canals. Some water features may display as both polygons and linear features and consequently be present in both the Water_Lines and Water_Areas feature classes.
