Description
OpenStreetMap exports from 2026 provide water features across Liechtenstein. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled rivers, streams, canals, lakes, and ponds tagged with `waterway`, `water`, or `natural=water`. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote ones.
Use Cases
Model flood-risk based on mapped rivers, streams, and water bodies.
Conduct watershed analysis using the network of waterways.
Provide environmental basemap context for regional planning.
Cross-reference local field knowledge for data validation in remote areas.
Strengths
Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
Covers a specific geographic region (Liechtenstein) with features relevant to hydrology.
