Okavango Basin Contributing Area - Hydrology Modelling - Stream Segmentation

This raster layer (90m resolution) identifies stream segments in the CORB-Contributing area. Each segment has a specific grid code, which will be fundamental in later modelling of the hydrological network. Source: This layer was created by computations of the Flow Direction and Stream Segmentation raster grids.

This dataset is part of the GIS Database for the Environment Protection and Sustainable Management of the Okavango River Basin project (EPSMO). Detailed information on the database can be found in the â€œGIS Database for the EPSMO Projectâ€ document produced by Luis Veríssimo (FAO consultant) in July 2009, and here available for download.

Supplemental Information: The EPSMO Project was initiated in 2001 by the Permanent Okavango River Basin Water Commission (OKACOM) with the support of the Global Environment Facility, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Main outputs include the completion of a Trans-boundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA), and a Strategic Action programme (SAP) for the Basin. As a background for the TDA and the Environmental Flows Assessment report, a GIS database was produced and it is here made available through selected thematic layers organized in themes. The GIS database has been also used as an input component of the Cubango-Okavango River Basin Water Audit carried on by FAO in partnership with OKACOM (GCP/INT/072/ITA , http://www.fao.org/nr/water/projects_scarcity_phase2.html ).
