Data details

Name EU-HYDRO
Note The data model of the EU-Hydro river network consists of seven polygon feature classes, three polyline feature classes and two point feature classes: - Point feature classes: Culverts and Nodes; - Line feature classes: Canals, Ditches and River_Net; - Polygon feature classes: Canals, Ditches, River_Net, InlandWater, Transit, Coastal and RiverBasins. EU-Hydro river network has been derived from 20 metres resolution imagery. The feature data extraction has been performed by photointerpretation of Very High Resolution Image Data (2011 - 2013), with resolution of 2.5 meters. Integrated EU-Hydro database (hydrographic and drainage database) is available in geodatabase format and contains: - hydrographic nodes, lines, and polygons; - drainage network elements (basins, catchments, drainage lines and nodes); - dams; - coastlines and land polygons.
