On this website, the dataset is also published in Excel to facilitate the publication of information on dams without geographical co-ordinates. It is accompanied by an explanatory document that provides specific information about the references used, and brief notes on the more complicated dams. The shapefile consists of the following information: - GIS generated codes (FID); coordinates in decimal degrees (DDLONG, DDLAT); 'coordinates' broken down into eight codes (LATDIR with an N or an S for North or South, LATDEG, LATMIN and LATSEC for degrees, minutes and seconds latitude and LONGDIR with an W or E for West or East and LONGDEG, LONGMIN and LONGSEC for degrees minutes and seconds longitude); as well as items described in detail on the website, such as river basin and administrative unit in which located; completion date; height; surface area; main purpose. http://www.fao.org/nr/water/aquastat/dams/index.stm WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Online link to the 'AQUASTAT geo-referenced dam databases'- website http://www.fao.org/geonetwork/srv/en/resources.get?id=38078&fname=Dams_MiddleEast.zip&access=private WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download Dams_MiddleEast.zip Database of dams in the Middle East (Shapefile) http://www.fao.org/geonetwork/srv/en/resources.get?id=38078&fname=middle_east_dams.xls&access=private WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download middle_east_dams.xls Database of dams in the Middle East (Excel file) http://www.fao.org/geonetwork/srv/en/resources.get?id=38078&fname=Dams_MiddleEast.kmz&access=private WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download Dams_MiddleEast.kmz Database of dams in the Middle East (Google Earth file) http://data.fao.org/maps/wms?styles=aquamaps_dams_middleeast_38078_style OGC:WMS-1.1.1-http-get-map AQUAMAPS:dams_middleeast_38078 Geo-referenced database of dams in the Middle East Last Updated 2011-03-28T00:00:00
