HydroSHEDS (RIV) - River network (stream lines) at 15s resolution - Australia
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
HydroSHEDS (Hydrological data and maps based on SHuttle Elevation Derivatives at multiple Scales) provides hydrographic information
in a consistent and comprehensive format for regional and global-scale applications. HydroSHEDS offers a suite of geo-referenced
data sets (vector and raster), including stream networks, watershed boundaries, drainage directions, and ancillary data layers
such as flow accumulations, distances, and river topology information. HydroSHEDS is derived from elevation data of the Shuttle
Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) at 3 arc-second resolution. Available HydroSHEDS resolutions range from 3 arc-second (approx.
90 meters at the equator) to 5 minute (approx. 10 km at the equator) with seamless near-global extent.
