VBET Area Attributes

[philipbaileynar]

Please add attribute to fields to the five output VBET feature classes that contains the area of each polygon feature. In all cases, the column name should be called area_ha and contain the area in hectares, to 5 decimal places:

• Outputs\vbet.gpkg
  • active_floodplain
  • inactive_floodplain
  • vbet_68
  • vbet_80
  • vbet_channel_area

As discussed, the geometries are in WGS84 so they will need re-projecting for this calculation. I suggest once each feature class is created, looping over each feature, converting the individual geometry to Albers Conic (EPSG: 5070) and grabbing the area.

The other option would be to do a feature class level operation to reproject the entire layer, but this creates clutter that needs cleaning up, and unnecessary IO.

Notes

• double check the EPSG above. I thiiiiiink it's right
• more tickets to come with additional VBET area metrics.

Step 1 - add area to features, is complete.
