Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks Publication_Date: 1997 Title: Stream Evaluation Online_Linkage: http://gisdasc.kgs.ukans.edu Description: Abstract: Digital representation of the map accompanying the "Kansas stream and river fishery resource evaluation" (R.E. Moss and K. Brunson, 1981.U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Contract No. 14-16-0006-80-063. Kansas Fish and Game Commission, Pratt). The database consists of 76 coverages, tiled by eight digit hydrologic units (HUC-8). This field assessment ranks stream and river reaches based on their actual and potential fisheries value. Purpose: Assessment and planning purposes.

KDWP is not responsible for database integrity following download and publication. The original field survey from which this database is derived was conducted in 1981 and may not reflect current field conditions or current KDWP policy. To be used at minimum scale of 1:100,000.

The databases are evaluated based on questions similar to the following: Does the database's documentation properly explain the dataset? Does the data import properly into its native dataset environment? Is consistent methodology used throughout the data? Are all of the database's fields and values legitimate compared to the documentation? Is the database's topology free of errors that could impair the functionality of the data? Once the data is tested a report is written describing the evaluation. A copy of the report is then forwarded to the data originator for his/her review. If errors are found, the data originator is expected to make any necessary corrections and then provide those corrected coverages. After these steps have been taken data is considered archivable and made available for distribution. Data that is archived by DASC has been tested and corrected. Completeness_Report: The database was created by adding attribute information from the "Kansas stream and river fishery resource evaluation" (R.E. Moss and K. Brunson, 1981.U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Contract No. 14-16-0006-80-063. Kansas Fish and Game Commission, Pratt). to arc features from the SWIMS digital database. Individual coverages were created at the HUC-8 level, then intersected with a county map of Kansas to assign county names to each stream reach and to exclude stream reaches extending beyond the state border. All original SWIMS attribute fields were retained and 10 new fields were added.
