Major hydrological basins and their sub-basins. This dataset divides the African continent according to its hydrological characteristics. The dataset consists of the following information:- numerical code and name of the major basin (MAJ_BAS and MAJ_NAME); - area of the major basin in square km (MAJ_AREA); - numerical code and name of the sub-basin (SUB_BAS and SUB_NAME); - area of the sub-basin in square km (SUB_AREA); - numerical code of the sub-basin towards which the sub-basin flows (TO_SUBBAS) (the codes -888 and -999 have been assigned respectively to internal sub-basins and to sub-basins draining into the sea) To assess which part of the land area flows to which river. The dataset is developed as part of an assessment of water resources in Africa. africa_small_s.png thumbnail png africa_temp.png large_thumbnail png watersheds river basins water resources hydrology AQUASTAT AWRD fishery AQUAMAPS_basins Africa 5000000 eng geoscientificInformation -17.3 51.1 -34.6 38.2 This dataset is developed as part of a GIS-based information system on water resources for the African continent.

The elevation dataset was part of a mapping product, HydroSHEDS, developed by the Conservation Science Program of World Wildlife Fund. Original input data had been obtained during NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM).
