Use Cases
Flood-risk modelling based on the distribution of rivers, streams, and water bodies.
Watershed analysis using the network of waterways and water features.
Creating environmental basemap context for regional planning based on lakes, ponds, and canals.
Strengths
Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.
