Armenian Waterways from OpenStreetMap for Environmental Analysis

OpenStreetMap data provides water features across Armenia, including rivers, streams, canals, lakes, ponds, and water bodies. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exports this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-13. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote locations.

Use Cases

• Model flood risk based on the mapped network of rivers and streams.
• Conduct watershed analysis using the delineated water bodies and waterways.
• Create an environmental context basemap for planning using the comprehensive water feature data.

Strengths

• Covers multiple water feature types including rivers, streams, canals, lakes, and ponds.
• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Last updated on 2026-05-13, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
