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.

本系全球河坝监测（GDW）数据库，版本1.0。数据库的开发过程详见Lehner等人的2024年论文（见下文参考文献中的DOI链接）。该数据库包含两个ZIP文件（一个为地理数据库格式，另一个为Shapefile格式）：“GDW_v1_0_gdb.zip”包含河流障碍物（点）和水库（多边形）的完整属性信息，以地理数据库格式存储；“GDW_v1_0_shp.zip”同样包含河流障碍物（点）和水库（多边形）的完整属性信息，以Shapefile格式存储；此外，还包含一个逗号分隔的文本文件，其中包含所有障碍物的属性信息。每个ZIP文件均包含一份技术文档（GDW_TechDoc_v1_0.pdf），提供更多相关信息。全球河坝监测数据库由全球河坝监测倡议维护，详情请见https://www.globaldamwatch.org。
