Abstract:  Surface water bodies in Wyandotte County. A polygon feature dataset of natural lakes and ponds (ponds are considered small lakes) as well as reservoirs (artificial lakes such as stock ponds, real estate lakes, retention basins, and treatment lagoons). In ESRI GIS format in Kansas North State Plane NAD83, units feet, suitable for use at 1:2400 map scale or smaller. This dataset portrays all water bodies visible from aerial photography regardless of size in acres, excepting extremely small basins and ditches. No water elevation data is included. Water wells not included. Enclosed water reservoirs (tanks) not included.There are several ways to filter water poly features using the data schema. Field Water_Type uses the NHD data categories adopted by Esri Community Maps Local Government model. Field Water_Class classifies water bodies according to a somewhat arbitrary scheme of Pond or Lake (for purposes of this dataset the area size threshold for lake was > 20 acres--therefore ponds are < 20 acres). There are a few exceptions to the water area class rule. Finally, the Name field contains name strings for a small number of county lakes that are known by name. These are generally the most prominent and well-known lakes and can be selected out accordingly.

Purpose: To serve as a thematic hydrology reference layer in support of Unified Government's Enterprise GIS (E-GIS) system. It is used to display water bodies cartographically in GIS applications. Not intended for use in detailed site planning.

Lineage:
Lineage statement: This is a major revision of lake_py dataset. Major tasks included review and update of lake/pond features using 2012 imagery; adding new fields including waterarea (area in acres), water_class (lake vs. pond); and cleaning up name data, as well as deleting old legacy fields no longer needed.

Process step:
When the process occurred:  2013-01-16T00:00:00
Description: Dataset was reviewed against current (2012) aerial imagery to detect feature changes. Dataset was updated in several cases: if a lake or pond was dried up and non-acquatic vegetation was visible it was deleted, or if urban development had obliterated the water feature it was removed from the dataset. New lakes or ponds of any significant size that was apparent in the imagery was digitized into dataset. Ponds or lakes that had significant changes in size and shape were redigitized. Features with only minor size or shape changes were left unaltered. New fields were added: Water_Type, Waterarea, and Water_Class (and values were calculated to populate them). A line smoothing process was applied to polygon features to cosmetically improve the appearance of lakes and ponds (eliminating unnatural-looking jagged and angular lines). The PAEK method was applied for smoothing, with a smoothing tolerance of 40 feet. Metadata was revised.
Rationale: Keep data current and prepare to meet Esri CM Local Government Data Model specifications.

Data quality report - Completeness omission:
Type of test:  indirect

Measure description: Complete for lakes and ponds identifiable as such from aerial ortho imagery (revision used 2012 imagery as time period). Dry or intermittent water basins covered with non-aquatic vegetation evident were omitted. Not all man-made reservoirs included. Enclosed water tanks omitted.

Data quality report - Conceptual consistency:
Type of test:  directExternal

Measure description: Evaluation of included water bodies was done using aerial ortho imagery as determinative basis. This was done visually. Actual poly boundary was determined to be the shoreline edge (water/land interface) as interpreted by digitizing technician.

Data quality report - Topological consistency:
Type of test:  directInternal

Measure description: polygon topology present

Data quality report - Absolute external positional accuracy:
Measure description: No accuracy claims are made. Basin water levels fluctuate from season to season and year to year. Consequently, delineation of water body boundaries can be approximate at best. This graphical data is not ideal for large scale mapping (> 1:2400) accordingly.
