Tunisian Waterways from OpenStreetMap for Hydrological Analysis

Tunisia's water features exported from OpenStreetMap, including rivers, streams, canals, lakes, and ponds. The data is contributed by volunteers and its completeness likely varies between urban and remote areas. It was last updated on 2026-05-15 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Flood-risk modelling based on waterway and water body locations.
• Watershed analysis using the network of rivers and streams.
• Creating an environmental basemap context for regional planning.

Strengths

• Covers multiple water feature types: rivers, streams, canals, lakes, and ponds.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Data is sourced from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project.

Limitations

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