Code | Description |
---|---|
junction | A split in the network to indicate where three or more watercourses meet at the same level, for example, confluences or bifurcations. |
outlet | The end terminal of a set of one or more interconnected links that does not have any downstream flow, for example, sinks or the point where a river enters the sea. |
source | The start terminal of a set of one or more interconnected links that has downstream flow, for example, springs or collects. |
Where the hydroNodeCategory has not been identified, this attribute is set to null and a nilReason of inapplicable is given. This will indicate where an attribute of the watercourse changes which requires a watercourseLink to split, for example, watercourseName. In the Esri shapefile, these are given the attribute value of pseudo.
