Water Features of Luxembourg from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports contain water features across Luxembourg, including rivers, streams, canals, lakes, and ponds. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) provides the data in multiple geospatial formats. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

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

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Covers a defined geographic region (Luxembourg).
• Based on the collaborative OpenStreetMap project, allowing for community updates.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incompletely mapped.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
