Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA)
This dataset is part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) initiative. The flowline dataset is used to identify areas that are hydrologically connected to Lake Ontario within the Lake Ontario Restoration Assessment (LORA) study area. The GLCWRA initiative identifies coastal wetland areas that have the greatest habitat restoration potential. The data model uses seven parameters to identify and rank wetland restoration areas, resulting in a composite index raster that can be used by ecological managers and planners to assist with the selection of wetland restoration sites. The parameters are Parameter 0: Mask, Parameter 1: Hydroperiod, Parameter 2: Wetland Soils, Parameter 3: Flowlines, Parameter 4: Conservation and Recreation Lands, Parameter 5: Impervious Surfaces, and Parameter 6: Land Use (represents developed areas without impervious surfaces but high societal value). The ancillary data include dikes, degree flowlines, study area and culverts. These data layers are put through an ecological model, which results in a composite restoration index of ranked restoration areas.
This dataset represents all flowlines (streams) that are connected to Lake Ontario. These areas are more likely to be within the hydroperiod (inundation zone) of Lake Ontario. This dataset was created with methodology outlined at https://glcwra.wim.usgs.gov/.

The data values were inspected and found to be within the expected range.
The dataset represents the streams and rivers within the LORA study area which covers the southern shore of Lake Ontario in New York State.
Clip all of the National Hydrography Data (NHD) flowlines to a 1.1km buffer of the study area. Exclude the Lake Ontario coastlines.
2020
Select all of the clipped NHD flowlines that intersect with Lake Ontario. Export these selected flowlines as a new polyline layer. These selected NHD flowlines represent all of the streams inside of the study area that flow into Lake Ontario.
2020
Buffer these selected NHD flowlines by 30 meters and clip the resulting polygon layer to the study area.
2020
Convert the polygon layer (which represents the buffered flowlines clipped to the study area) to a raster with 10-meter cells.
2020
