Process_Description:
The polygon and line DLG coverages of hydrography features for 
each 1:24,000 dlg coverage for the state of Florida were converted to 
ARC/INFO coverages then mapjoined, cleaned, and built into individual
coverages.  The coverages were projected to Albers Equal Area projection
using A/I 7.0.3 for the DEC/Alpha.  The coverages were inserted tile by 
tile into the water_quad library.
