Global River Basin Boundaries Dataset Containing 236 Large-Scale Hydrological Basins

This dataset provides vector polygon or multipolygon features of 236 large hydrological catchment units that depict sub-basin boundaries at a global scale. Each catchment unit is associated with attribute information, including basin name, shape length, shape area, and spatial geometry.The dataset can serve as spatial units for hydrological analyses, climate change studies, water resources assessment, and hydrological modeling at large and basin scale. The dataset is provided in ESRI Shapefile format and can be directly used in Geographic Information System (GIS) software. Coordinate reference system: WGS 84 geographic coordinate system (EPSG:4326).
