Watershed codes / watershed groups / assessment watersheds are not quite consistent enough to use for pre-aggregated upstream summaries.
For example, looking for area upstream of this fundamental watershed: watershed_feature_id = 8924583 wscode=100.190442.244975 localcode=100.190442.244975.541514
If we look upstream using the fundamental watersheds, almost of the Nicola River / NICL watershed group is included.
If we look upstream using assessment watersheds or watershed groups, the NICL watershed group is excluded because the watershed group is coded with local code 100.190442.244975.539934 - there is a tiny bit of river polygon with that code present in the group.
Do not use watershed groups (or assessment watersheds, that are also based on group boundaries) for upstream/downstream queries.
FWA_WatershedAtMeasure and fwa_watersheds_upstream_area.sql will have to be fixed.

upstream area - assessment watersheds / watershed groups as pre-aggregated shapes
Do not use watershed groups for upstream analysis

Also - because they are not consistent enough to produce results equivalent to using fundamental watersheds, dropping the watershed codes from the watershed groups might be a good idea.
