Rivers

Rivers primarily derive from World Data Bank 2. Double line rivers in WDB2 were digitized to created single line drainages. All rivers received manual smoothing and position adjustments to fit shaded relief generated from SRTM Plus elevation data, which is more recent and (presumably) more accurate.

Measurements recorded

Geometry-only dataset
No separate measurements; attributes are shown in the data table.

Unit harmonisation applied to this dataset

Every number in Atlas is stored in one canonical unit; the original value and unit are always kept
