Singapore Water Features from OpenStreetMap for Flood Modeling

Water features across Singapore sourced from OpenStreetMap. The data includes rivers, streams, canals, lakes, ponds, and other water bodies tagged with `waterway`, `water`, or `natural=water`. It was last updated on 2026-05-14 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Flood-risk modeling based on the mapped network of rivers, streams, and canals.
• Watershed analysis using the spatial distribution of lakes, ponds, and water bodies.
• Creating environmental basemaps for contextual analysis of water features.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Includes a variety of water feature types such as rivers, streams, canals, lakes, and ponds.

Limitations

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