Indonesia Waterways and Water Bodies from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap features for Indonesia matching water-related tags, including rivers, canals, lakes, wetlands, and bays. The dataset is an export from the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-05. Features may have attributes such as name, waterway type, width, depth, and source.

Use Cases

• Map river networks and canals based on the 'waterway' attribute.
• Identify lakes, wetlands, and bays based on the 'natural' attribute.
• Analyze potential water infrastructure features like tunnels or blockages based on the 'tunnel' and 'blockage' attributes.
• Assess basic physical dimensions of waterways using the 'width' and 'depth' attributes where available.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a large collaborative mapping project.
• Includes multiple potential attributes per feature, such as name, type, and physical dimensions.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats: KML, GEOJSON, SHP, and GEOPACKAGE.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic or contributor bias inherent to OpenStreetMap.
