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.


The dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
