most of the good stuff from the NHD-plus-HR and NWI is allready covered by CARI
stuff that "peaks out from underneath" is more often wrong than realevant
the more often relvant material is NWI and NHD-plus-HR features that are issolated from any CARI feautres
such as a pond that CARI doenst have

what is needed is to switch to vector collector 
its all set up but we need to build vector collector v2 : R3GIS_vector_collector_assimilate_dev.py
we could then set up crosswalks from NHD/nWI to our CARI base for at least a few things

untill then the NWI and NHD records willl only have limited attributes: r3_type and r3_group

The situation with NWI and the flowline based polygons is both dissapointing and problematic
it would be great to find a way to 
a. identify them and remove them and
b. fill in the gap they left behind

-----r3_multisource-wetlands_epsg6414 work flow----------------------
after doing the seperate workflows for CARI, NHD and NWI:

Q:\GIS\Water\Wetlands_multisource_R3\r3_multisource-wetlands_epsg6414.gpkg
	buffer roads by about 5m  
		Q:\_annual_work\wetlands\_final_dev\road_buffer_5m

	buffer buildings  by about 5m (next time do 5m) 
		Q:\_annual_work\wetlands\_final_dev\dev-parcels_and_buf10-structures\structure_buffer_5m
	
	select developed parcels from landvision related layer
		Q:\_annual_work\wetlands\_final_dev\dev-parcels_and_buf10-structures\developed_parcels
	
	merge it all together as it all represents what is more than likely not wetland	
		Q:\_annual_work\wetlands\_final_dev\not-wetland\not-wetland_epsg3310.gpkg

	1. select those NWI/NHD that intersect (etc) the CARI, inverse and save
		Q:\_annual_work\wetlands\_final_dev\1_those_that_dont_touch

		select from NWI records representing rivering flowlines 
		this wont get them all as many are classed otherwise and UNFORUTNATELY there isnt a way to trace back "method used to map"

		select the selected NHD that intersect the selected NWI and delete (NWI beats NHD)
			Q:\_annual_work\wetlands\_final_dev\2_re-move\nhd_removed_cause-nwi-touched-them.gpkg
			Q:\_annual_work\wetlands\_final_dev\2_re-move\nhd_removed.gpkg
			Q:\_annual_work\wetlands\_final_dev\2_re-move\nwi_removed.gpkg

	2. combine them 
		Q:\_annual_work\wetlands\_final_dev\3_selected_nwi-nhd\selected_nwi-nhd.gpkg

		remove those that touch the "non wetlnd " layer

		remove those that touch the ocean


	3. bring it all toether
		Q:\_annual_work\wetlands\_final_dev\R3_Wetlands_multisource

		calc gis_source	; 'NHD Plus HR 2024', CARI 2024 and NWI 2024
		
		selecte 'name' is NULL and calc to 'gnis_name'
		
		drop a bucnh of attributes 


Q:\GIS\Water\wetlands_r3_cartographic
	is a simplified version used to screen out other wetland data layers
	and used for cartographic pourposes

	merge-dissolve_multi-attib.py
	is used with 
		compareMethod = 'intersects'
		fldsToMatchOn = ['r3_group1'] #the values in all of these fields must match in order to proceed with merge/dissolve
		skipIfNone = None
		skipAreaLargerThan = 30000000
		minArea = 10
		minPoints = 8
		minIntersect = 2
		forceToPoly = True
		flattenIt = True
		keep3D = False #set to None if you want to skip
		keepM = False
		dissolveMethod = 'union' #Option is unioncascasde and its unclear if that helps in this case
		






---???? what was i doing.....
usb projects of this are ocena and islands
refer to Q:\_annual_work\wetlands\ocean_islands

and 
Q:\GIS\Land_Cover\beaches\r3_beaches_multi-source.gpkg
Q:\GIS\Land_Cover\Islands_multi-source\r3_islands_multi-source_epsg3310.gpkg
Q:\GIS\Water\ocean_cartographic\R3_ocean_cartographic.gpkg

and 
"name" is not NULL records are in 
Q:\_annual_work\place_names\nhd_area
Q:\_annual_work\place_names\nhd_waterbody
