Product details

Name	Riparian Zones Delineation
Acronym	DRZ
Description	Riparian zones products support the monitoring and protection of the transitional areas occurring between land and freshwater ecosystems. These zones are characterised by distinctive hydrology, soil and biotic conditions and strongly influenced by the stream water. The delineation of Riparian Zones is based on a complex spatial modelling approach, making use of the Riparian Zones’ LC/LU classification, large-scale earth observation data and a range of additional geo-data sources. Riparian Zones Delineation is provided in two formats: vector data type and raster.
