Dataset for Physical and Socio-economic Characteristics of Global Large Inland Waterways

This dataset contains two shpfile data.The shpfile data named as 'Global_large_inland_waterways' provides physical characteristic of inland waterways at reach scale for 66 large rivers with basin areas larger than 100,000 km²in 2015. The attributes including freeze-up duration (FreezeDura, day), actual minimum maintenance depth (Depth_Act, m), idealized minimum maintenance depth (Depth_Idea, m), actual bearing capacity (BC_Act, 10⁸t/yr), and idealized bearing capacity (BC_Idea, 10⁸t/yr).The shipfile data named as 'global_large_river_basin' provides both physical and socio-economic characteristics of inland waterways at basin scale for 66 large rivers with basin areas larger than 100,000 km²in 2015. The attributes including bearing capacity (BC,10⁸ t/yr), GDP (10⁸ $), Population (POP,10⁶ person),agriculture and industry outputs (AIO,10⁸ $), and human development index (HDI). <br><br>Geographic Coordinate System: GCS_WGS_1984Datum: D_WGS_1984Prime Meridian: GreenwichAngular Unit: Degree
