European catchments and Rivers network system (Ecrins), functional elementary catchments (fec) - version 1, Jun. 2012
This dataset contains the “functional elementary catchments” datasets of Ecrins v1.0
The FECs apportion into two big categories: the coastal FECs and the continental FECs. Coastal FECs have the following characteristics: they may have 0 to several outlets, they have no upstream FEC and they touch a terminal recipient (sea or endorheic lake). They ID starts by ‘W’. The continental FECs may have an outlet, but at least one upstream if the FEC is terminal. Continental FECs belong to three categories: upstream (no upstream FEC), intermediates (upstream(s) and one downstream or terminal (upstream(s) and no downstream.
The database contains a single table of features, named C_Zhyd that contains the Ecrins version to which these FECs refer, the FEC ID and attribute values. Special mention to field Code_Arbo, specially designed to circulate upstream with flat algorithm instead of recursive algorithm.
Full documentation is in EEA technical report 9/2012, downloadable from the EEA website.

Product is based on CCM River and Catchment Database, version 2.1
Some hundreds of source CCM elementary catchments have been discarded or reattached. All source CCM catchments have been reallocated to sea shores.
Processing consisted of dissolving, under strict control of topology, the 1,409,644 CCM elementary catchments into more homogeneous 181,071 FECS covering the same geographical area, based on size criteria (shrink the range) and Strahler order.
