| Abstract | This report highlights the Whale Cove watershed assessment activity conducted by scientists from the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing at Natural Resources Canada and staff from the Nunavut research
Institute (NRI). This activity included the use of high resolution satellite imagery, airphotos, and on-site field surveys to map the watershed boundaries and lake depths of the supply lakes for Whale Cove.
This activity was also used as a
technology transfer exercise, whereby staff from NRI was trained to understand and use a set of tools and solutions for conducting small lake surveys and for collecting GPS locations.

Digital computer files resulting from this project, and described in this document, are available upon
request by contacting the project leader or project members. The digital files comprise of:
- Vector file of the watershed outline (ESRI shapefile.shp).
- Raster files illustrating the water depth model of the actual and former water supply
lakes for Whale Cove (Geotiff.tif).
- Vector files illustrating the depth contours (isobaths) of the actual and former water supply lakes for Whale Cove (ESRI shapefile.shp).
- Tabular statistics featuring the water volume for the actual and
former water supply lakes for Whale Cove.
- Lake volume statistics stored as .kml file (Keyhole Markup Language) viewable on tools such as Google Earth.
- Vector file illustrating the depth contours of the actual and former water supply lake
for Whale Cove stored as an .img file compatible with Garmintm GPS map devices.
- Vector files illustrating the local roads and trails.
- A Worldview-1 digital elevation model (DEM).
- A 3D anaglyph image. |
