Water Features Across Togo from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data exports provide water features across Togo, including rivers, streams, canals, lakes, and ponds. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.

Use Cases

• Model flood risk based on mapped rivers and streams.
• Conduct watershed analysis using the network of water bodies.
• Create an environmental basemap for contextual analysis from the water features.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Covers a defined geographic region (Togo).
• Sourced from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project, which provides a free, open base map.

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.
