Hi Daniel,
Is the permanency attribute only used for tidal influences, or does it
indicate intermittent rivers / lakes as well? I'm not really sure if
there are such lakes in the prairies, so I want to make sure that they
aren't imported incorrectly.
Since you describe that the land use is different for tidal areas, is
there a way to distinguish among them, or should this information be
provided by the specification code?
