Brunei Waterways from OpenStreetMap for Environmental Analysis

OpenStreetMap exports provide water features across Brunei Darussalam. The dataset includes rivers, streams, canals, lakes, ponds, and water bodies tagged with `waterway`, `water`, or `natural=water`. It was last updated on 2026-05-14 and is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Model flood-risk based on mapped waterway and water body locations.
• Conduct watershed analysis using the network of rivers and streams.
• Create environmental basemaps for context using lakes, ponds, and canals.

Strengths

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

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-05-14).
