Identifier	geometry

Dataset	WISE - Spatial data
Table	SurfaceWaterBodyLine

Name	Geometry
Definition	The geometry representing the spatial extent of the spatial object.
Methodology for obtaining data	The geometry of a Management Area, Restriction or Regulation Zone can be defined using any geometry representation. The separation between polygon and polyline geometries in different data sets is only due to the limitations of the shapefile format (and the requirement that the shapefile format be supported and its conversion to GML). Data providers can use this dataset to report surface water bodies if their representative geometry is linear.
