Georeferenced global Dams And Reservoirs (GeoDAR)

This dataset archives successive versions of the GeoDAR (Georeferenced global Dams And Reservoirs) dataset. <br>The current versions include GeoDAR v1.0 and v1.1. GeoDAR v1.0 holds 22,743 dam points georeferenced based on the ICOLD World Register of Dams (WRD; https://www.icold-cigb.org). GeoDAR v1.1 consists of (1) 24,978 dam points following a careful harmonization between GeoDAR v1.0 and the Global Reservoir and Dam Database (GRanD) v1.3, and (2) 21,576 reservoir polygons retrieved from high-resolution water masks.<br>More details are provided in the readme file enclosed in the dataset folder.<br>Citation: Wang, J., Walter, B.A., Yao, F., Song, C., Ding, M., Maroof, M.A.S., Xin, A., Zhu, J., Fan, C., McAlister, J.M., Sikder, M.S., Sheng, Y., Allen, G.H., Crétaux, J.-F., and Wada, Y., 2021. GeoDAR: Georeferenced global dam and reservoir dataset for bridging attributes and geolocations. Earth System Science Data, in review.<br><b>Note</b>: The dataset and its description manuscript (Wang et al. 2021) are now under review. Changes, corrections, and improvements are expected before the final acceptance. We therefore do not recommend applying this dataset to any analysis yet until the data and its manuscript are officially accepted.<br>
