Major River Basins of the World

The GRDC "Major River Basins of the World" is a web application provided by the Global Runoff Data Centre (GRDC) to present the "Major River Basins of the World" data product. The "Major River Basins" and "Major River Networks" layers represent 520 river/lake basins considered “major” in basin size, or in their hydro-political importance or interest. This dataset was created for the generation of GRDC map products and will be updated from time to time whenever extensions are required by future GRDC projects. At present the dataset comprises the GIS layers of GRDC Major River Basins 2020, GRDC Major River Networks 2020 and GRDC Major Rivers 2007.
