BUT THE POLYLINE-TYPEDATASETS APPEAR TO ADDITIONALLY REPRESENT STREAM CENTERLINES AND/OR FLOWLINES. THE POLYGON-TYPEDATASET THAT ALIGNS WITH THE POLYLINE-TYPE DATASETS IS NAMED IN THIS DATA PROVISION,'GREEN_HYDRO_UNK_POLY.' THE OTHER POLYGON-TYPE DATASET IS NAMED IN THIS DATA PROVISION,'GREEN_HYDRO2_UNK_POLY.'ONE OF THE POLYLINE-TYPE DATASETS WAS LABELED AS STREAMS-INTERMITTENT AND THE OTHER AS RIVERS-PERENNIAL.THE TWO HAVE BEEN COMBINED INTO ONE DATASET, 'GREEN_HYDRO_UNK_LINE.'ALSO RELEVANT IS 'GREEN_BREAKLINES_2011,' PROVIDED AS A SEPARATE DATASET.]
