Development of a Data Set for Continental Hydrologic Modelling - Input Layers Related to Topography, Channel Geometry, Land Cover and Soil Characteristics of European and African River Basins

摘要

The data set was created for the purpose of updating/processing static input layers for LISFLOOD model.The LISFLOOD model is a hydrological rainfall-runoff model that is capable of simulating thehydrological processes that occur in a catchment. The new data set contains gridded numerical anddescriptive information related to topography, channel geometry, land cover and soil characteristics ofEuropean and African river basins.This document gives a brief summary of the source geo-spatial data sets, the applied methodology and themain characteristics of the resulted data.
