Dominican Republic Waterways from OpenStreetMap for Environmental Analysis

Water features across the Dominican Republic exported from OpenStreetMap. The data includes rivers, streams, canals, lakes, ponds, and water bodies tagged with `waterway`, `water`, or `natural=water`. It was last updated on 2026-05-15 and is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT).

Use Cases

• Model flood-risk based on mapped river and stream networks.
• Conduct watershed analysis using the spatial distribution of water bodies.
• Create an environmental basemap context for regional planning.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, HTML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Explicitly includes features tagged with `waterway`, `water`, or `natural=water`.
• Last updated on 2026-05-15.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped while 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.
