Broward County Waterbodies

All of Broward County's surface waters were digitized using the 1998 and 1999 photography. Areas of new development were updated using the 2000 and 2001 photography. Areas of southwest Broward County were updated using the 2002 photography. All areas of Broward County were updated using the 2006 digital ortho-photos. All surface water was digitized at a scale ranging from 1:600 to 1:1200. All water bodies greater than 10 feet in diameter and canals greater than 10 feet in width were digitized. The spatial accuracy of the data is limited by the spatial accuracy (+/- 7 feet) and shadowing of the photography, and by the visibility of surface water on the photography. The 1998 and 1999 photography was black and white with one foot pixel size. The 2000, 2001, and 2002 photography was color with one foot pixel size. The 2006 photography was color with one foot pixel size. Source: EPGMD Effective Date: December 2006 Last Update: Update Cycle: As needed
