Download Shapefile data for the whole world : River, basin, sub basin and lake
Download Shapefile data for the whole world : River, basin, sub basin and lake
In This tutorial I will show you how to download Shapefile data for the whole world : River, basin, sub basin and lake from HydroSHEDS (Hydrological data and maps based on SHuttle Elevation Derivatives) website.
HydroSHEDS
Hydrological data and maps based on SHuttle Elevation Derivatives at multiple Scales provides hydrographic information in a consistent and comprehensive format for regional and global-scale applications.
HydroSHEDS offers a suite of geo-referenced data sets in raster and vector format, including stream networks, watershed boundaries, drainage directions, and ancillary data layers such as flow accumulations, distances, and river topology information.
From HydroSHEDS you can download Shapefile and Geodatabases data for any area of the world :
HydroBASINS : watersheds and sub-watersheds / basins and sub basins,
HydroRIVERS : rivers / hydrographic networks.
HydroLAKES : lakes.
