New Database from Canada: The National Land and Water Information Service – Canada’s New Agri-Environmental Web Portal
From the Directions overview:
Canadians have one-stop access to information and decision support for agriculture and the environment through a new Web portal developed by the Government of Canada. Online since 2006, the National Land and Water Information Service (NLWIS) provides interactive maps, planning tools, expertise and geospatial data, highlighting land use, soil, water, climate and biodiversity across the country.
The NLWIS portal pulls together soil, water and other agri-environmental data from dispersed sources using interoperable GIS technology. It provides expert help to apply and interpret the information. Currently, 22 geospatial applications are available over the Internet in Canada’s two official languages. These applications were developed by AAFC, but many other organizations contributed their expertise and geospatial data.
