ECWP Permanent & Intermittent Streams

Permanent streams and watercourses are classified based on having a continual flow within an average climate year. In contrast, intermittent streams flow during wetter seasons, but are dry at certain predictable times during an average climate year. Altogether, both types of features contribute to the overall function and flow of water in the watershed (Stanfield 2017). Here the permanent and intermittent streams layer was developed by the ECS team at TRCA in 2020.
