Description
OpenStreetMap exports provide water features across the Marshall Islands, including rivers, streams, canals, lakes, ponds, and water bodies. The data is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-14. It is useful for flood-risk modelling, watershed analysis, and environmental basemap context.
Use Cases
Flood-risk modelling based on the spatial distribution of water bodies.
Watershed analysis based on the network of rivers and streams.
Creating environmental basemaps for contextual analysis based on water features.
Strengths
Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
Includes features tagged with `waterway`, `water`, or `natural=water`.
Limitations
Completeness varies by region; 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.
