Watershed Boundaries of Global Runoff Data Centre Stations

The Watershed Boundaries of all GRDC Stations are generated on the basis of HydroSHEDS (Lehner et al., 2008) and the Multi-Error-Removed Improved-Terrain (MERIT) Hydro dataset (Yamazaki et al., 2019).

It is updated as soon as changes in the metadata occur or new stations have to be implemented.
