ALCOM/WWF watershed model of Africa, continental expansion of the ALCOM-WWF/SARPO SADC-WRD watershed model edited to VMAP0/DCW
Rivers.
The ALCOMWWF shapefile data layer is comprised of 5456 derivative vector watershed model features derived based on 5 000
cell data originally from WWF | ALCOM. The layer provides nominal analytical/mapping at 1:2 500 000.
