| Description |
These two data-sets contain potentially navigable rivers for small and medium-sized boats in South-America depending on the topography, rainfall and potential evapotranspiration. Hence, it is an approximation of the location of navigable rivers, not an actual map of hidroways. Navigability is defined by the extent of a river which in this case (1) for small boats accounts to ~5-15 meters minimum extent and (2) for medium-sized boats ~30-40m meters minimum extent. The model data was parametrized and validated with land-cover data from high-resolution satellite images. Please see the full description of how the data-sets was created in the attached PDF File.
