SE.HY Huvudavrinningsområden (SVAR2022): VisningstjänstSE.HY Main Drainage Basins (SVAR2022): Viewing Service
This WMS viewing service, published by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI), provides polygon data representing the main drainage basins that discharge into Swedish waters. A main drainage basin was originally defined as an area draining to the sea with a minimum size of 200 square kilometres, though the updated dataset does not always meet this size criterion. The service supports visualization of national hydrological catchment boundaries for water management and environmental analysis purposes.Denna produkt består av polygoner som representerar de huvudavrinningsområden som mynnar i Sverige. Ett huvudavrinningsområdes ursprungliga definition bestod av områden som har sin mynning i havet och uppmäter en areal av minst 200 km2;. Det nya underlaget uppfyller inte alltid storlekskriteriet...
