Water Transverse Structures in Tyrol, Austria from National Water Management Plan

Austrian water bodies are surveyed every six years under the National Water Management Plan based on the 1959 Water Law. The dataset likely contains event records of stress data on water bodies, including morphological surveys, transverse structures, residual water routes, swamps, and dams. It is provided by Cooperation OGD Österreich and Wikimedia Österreich via the eu_open_data platform.

Use Cases

• Mapping the location and density of transverse structures based on the recorded event data.
• Assessing hydrological connectivity and fragmentation based on recorded residual water routes and dams.
• Analyzing morphological stress on water bodies based on survey data mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data collection is mandated by a national regulation, suggesting a formal methodology.
• The dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse with attribution.
• Data is collected on a recurring six-year cycle, implying potential for temporal analysis.

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
