Perennial inland water areas of the world extracted from Vector Map Level 0 and converted to Arc/Info format by FAO/GIS. Vector Map (VMap) Level 0 is an updated and improved version Digital Chart of the World (DCW). Base map. The VMap Level 0 database provides worldwide coverage of vector-based geospatial data which can be viewed at 1:1,000,000 scale. It consists of geographic, attribute, and textual data. .

The data structure is originally Vector Product Format (VPF) to US Military Standard (MIL-STD-2407) which is compliant with the international standard, Digital Geographic Information Exchange Standard (DIGEST) Annex C. The VMap Level 0 feature and attribute content is defined in the US Military Specification for VMap Level 0(MIL-V-89039). http://www.nima.mil WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link link to NIMA website http://data.fao.org/maps/wms?styles=geonetwork_inwatr_p_1270_style OGC:WMS-1.1.1-http-get-map GEONETWORK:inwatr_p_1270 Perennial Inland Water Areas of the World (Vmap0) http://www.fao.org/geonetwork WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link inwatr_p-2.axl http://www.fao.org:80/geonetwork/srv/en/resources.get?id=1270&fname=inwatr_p.zip&access=private WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download inwatr_p.zip Perennial Inland Water Areas of the World (Vmap0) shapefile (download size: 43MB) http://www.fao.org/geonetwork WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link inwatr_p.axl Last Updated 2002-05-31 19:58:00
