Bermuda Waterways from OpenStreetMap for Environmental Analysis

OpenStreetMap exports of water features across Bermuda, including rivers, streams, canals, lakes, and ponds. The data is contributed by volunteers and maintained by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT), last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote locations.

Use Cases

• Model flood-risk zones based on mapped waterways and water bodies.
• Conduct watershed analysis using the network of rivers and streams.
• Create environmental basemaps for planning using the water feature context.

Strengths

• Covers multiple water feature types including rivers, streams, canals, lakes, and ponds.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free and collaborative global mapping project.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete compared to urban areas.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
