COMPUTING SURFACE OF WATER INCLUDING POLYGON SOURCES (EDA 2.3)
Cédric Briand, Maria Matteo Laurent Beaulaton and Hilaire Drouineau,
january 2020
Introduction
The eda model predicts the density of yellow eel using attributes extracted and projected on the river network C. Briand et al. (2018). This model uses then a silvering model to predict the number of silver eels departing from the streams to the ocean Beaulaton, Briand, and Chapon (2015).
In 2012, the second version of EDA has been built on the ccm Vogt et al. (2007) Vogt et al. (2003). One of the main problem using the ccm was that it was not covering the whole water surface Jouanin et al. (2012), and a hack used in Ireland was to raise the estimates of water surface using the water surface of the total river network and waterbodies (including lakes). This let to estimates of biomass close to those estimated by the Irish model de Eyto et al. (2016). However, this raising was done at the EMU (eel management unit) scale which always correspond to very large territories.
In 2018, EDA was built on antoher river network, where the width of the stream is predicted Pella et al. (2012). The lack of inclusion of true water surface in the RHT explains the mismatch betwen productions of silver eels predicted by the model and independant observation obtained from various surveys of silver eel migration. The largest mistach between these two productions has been found in the basins where a large part of the production was stemming from lakes or reservoir such as the Frémur (P. Laffaille et al. (2003), A. Acou et al. (2008)) where part of the catchments is a reservoir enpounded by a large dam or Souston which is a small stream including many large lakes.
This, and the fact that the most productive environment are not covered by EDA L. Beaulaton and Briand (2018) has led us to try to find a way of inserting the water surface bodies. We describe a method to join the river network and the waterbodies using different data sources in the different countries. We also propose a method to remove the surface bodies of the streams when they are overlapped with surface water bodies.
Method
France
The source of data in France is the BD TOPO® Hydrographie which corresponds to the stream, water surface and reservoirs in France. The layers can be downloaded here. Among the attributes of the layer, we find :
- the hydrographic code of the stream
- the nature of the layer

The french part of the SUDOANG river network database is based on the RHT Pella et al. (2012). In particular the RHT is also built on unit basins, this layer has been used to split the polygons of water surface per basins.
The data are reprojected to the ETRS89-extended / LAEA Europe which can be used at the scale of Europe.
We use the rn and rna tables computed within the sudoang projects. Of particular interest to us are the wettessurfacem2 and wettedsurfaceotherm2 fields. The wettessurfacem2 corresponds to the surface of streams that is not covered by a watebody. The wettedsurfaceotherm2 corresponds to the sum of the areas of polygpons clipped within the unit basins.
