Trinidad and Tobago Waterways from OpenStreetMap

Water features across Trinidad and Tobago exported 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 2026-05-15 and is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

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 basemap context based on the comprehensive water feature data.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
