Jersey Waterways and Water Bodies from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap features for the Jersey area matching tags for waterways, water bodies, and wetlands. The dataset includes attributes such as name, waterway type, width, depth, and natural classification. It was last updated on 2026-03-03 and is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Map waterway networks based on the 'waterway' attribute.
• Analyze the physical characteristics of rivers and canals based on 'width' and 'depth' attributes.
• Identify and classify water bodies and wetlands based on the 'natural' and 'water' tags.
• Assess infrastructure features like tunnels and blockages for hydrological modeling.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative global mapping project.
• Includes multiple geometric attributes like width and depth for feature analysis.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoJSON, SHP, and KML.

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.
