Global Dam Watch database version 1.0

This is the Global Dam Watch (GDW) database of river barriers and reservoirs, version 1.0. The database development is fully described in Lehner et al. 2024 (see DOI-link in References below).There are 2 zip files (one in Geodatabase format and one in Shapefile format):"GDW_v1_0_gdb.zip" contains both river barriers (points) and reservoirs (polygons) including all attribute information, in Geodatabase format"GDW_v1_0_shp.zip" contains both river barriers (points) and reservoirs (polygons) including all attribute information, in Shapefile format; additionally there is a comma delimited text file containing all barrier attributesEach of the zip-files contains a Technical Documentation (GDW_TechDoc_v1_0.pdf) which provides additional information. The GDW database is maintained by the Global Dam Watch initiative, see https://www.globaldamwatch.org.

本数据集为全球水坝观察（Global Dam Watch, GDW）推出的河流拦挡设施与水库数据库v1.0版本。该数据库的开发细节已在Lehner等人2024年的研究中完整阐述（详见下文参考文献中的DOI链接）。本数据集包含两个压缩文件：其一为地理数据库（Geodatabase）格式，其二为形状文件（Shapefile）格式。其中"GDW_v1_0_gdb.zip"包含地理数据库格式的河流拦挡设施（点要素）与水库（面要素）数据集及其全部属性信息；"GDW_v1_0_shp.zip"包含形状文件格式的河流拦挡设施（点要素）与水库（面要素）数据集及其全部属性信息，此外还附带一份包含所有拦挡设施属性的逗号分隔文本文件。每个压缩包均附带一份技术文档"GDW_TechDoc_v1_0.pdf"，可提供额外补充说明。本GDW数据库由全球水坝观察项目维护，官方访问地址为https://www.globaldamwatch.org。
