Montenegro Water Features from OpenStreetMap for Environmental Analysis

An OpenStreetMap export of water features across Montenegro, including rivers, streams, canals, lakes, and ponds. The data is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness of features varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Model flood-risk based on the spatial distribution of rivers and streams.
• Conduct watershed analysis using the network of waterway features.
• Create an environmental basemap context using lakes, ponds, and water bodies.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Derived from a well-known collaborative mapping source, OpenStreetMap.

Limitations

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