This chapter describes specific procedures that are to be followed by Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP) staff when creating aquatic areas coverages.

The procedures are divided into several steps: (1) delineation of the main channel, (2) digitizing the main channel and structures, (3) dissolving the land cover data into aquatic and nonaquatic classes, (4) on-screen digitizing and classification, (5) completing the attribute tables photointerpretation, and (6) placing the coverages in the database.
