3.10.2. The rules of attribution of hydrographic objects
When you create a hydrography item, the category selection menu opens:
Select the appropriate category from the menu to open the attribute panel for the map item. Hydrographic items are represented using placemarks (for “Hydrography points”), lines (for “Areas of riverbed”), and polygons (for “Bodies of water”).
Rules for adding attributes to these type of items are found below.
- 3.10.2.1. Pond (contour hydrographic object)
-
The attribute panel for bodies of water (polygonal hydrographic items) items looks like this:
- 3.10.2.1.1. Type
-
Select an item type from the list.
If the item name specifies its type and proper name (for example, Atlantic Ocean, White Sea, Bering Strait, Lake Ladoga, Sulutor Lakes, and so on), the corresponding item type is selected from the list:
- lake or other body of water
- ocean
- sea
- bay or harbor;
- strait
- reservoir
- pond
- glacier
- group of lakes
The “Swamp” and “Outdoor pool” types can be assigned to items of those types even if they don't have a name.
Hydrographic polygonal items with no dedicated type (polygonal rivers, streams, channels, fountains, sewage treatment plant reservoirs, water-filled quarries, and so on) are attributed the “lake, body of water” type.
- 3.10.2.1.2 Name
-
Hydrographic items are named in accordance with the general rules. See 3.1.3. Map item naming rules.
- 3.10.2.1.3. Duplication of a river or channel by a contour
-
When you duplicate a riverbed or channel using a polygon, assign Body of water attributes to that item (see point 3.10.2.1.1).
Don't name these polygonal items: the “Name” field should be left blank.
- 3.10.2. The area of the river bed (linear hydrographic object)
-
The attribute panel for a section of riverbed looks like this:
- 3.10.2.3. Point hydrography object (“point hydrography”)
-
The attribute panel for a hydrography point looks like this:
