Introduction
General process description

Process step

Sources

The dataset comes from the fraser_vulnerability.shp file of the Fraser project archives folder. The dataset was converted to a raster using the ArcGIS Polygon to Raster tool. The pixels size was set to 10m. In the original dataset some superimposed polygons had different vulnerability values. The polygons with the higher vulnerability values were kept for the conversion to a raster. The dataset comes from an external source (British-Columbia Ministry of Environment) therefore it is not directly related to the Fraser project. It was not created for the Fraser project but covers the same territory.
