Supplemental Information This map is part of two publications entitled:
"Jenness, J.; Dooley, J.; Aguilar-Manjarrez, J.; Riva, C. African Water Resource Database. GIS-based tools for inland aquatic resource management. 1. Concepts and application case studies CIFA Technical Paper. No.33, Part 1. Rome, FAO. 2007. 167p. "
"Jenness, J.; Dooley, J.; Aguilar-Manjarrez, J.; Riva, C. African Water Resource Database. GIS-based tools for inland aquatic resource management. 2. Technical manual and workbook. CIFA Technical Paper. No. 33, Part 2. Rome, FAO. 2007. 308 p."
The primary AWRD interface, tool-sets and data integral to the function of the AWRD are distributed in two DVD's accompanying CIFA No. 33, Part 2, and are also available for download from FAO's GeoNetwork and GISFish GIS portals.

Statement Version 2 primary download from ftp://e0srp01u.ecs.nasa.gov/srtm/version2/Africa but also EuropeAsia and Island FTP directories; See also: http://mac.usgs.gov/isb/pubs/factsheets/fs07103.html or http://edc.usgs.gov/products/elevation/srtmbil.html. These data are based on LP-DAAC, where each 3-as data point is the average of the nine 1-as samples surrounding the post and differ from the DTED1 subsampled data available from USGS SDDS seamless server or distribution DVD's. Automated process used to generate 8.3333333333333333333333333333333e-4 pixel size headers and ingest into Arc-Grid format using the exact geometric center of the lower left pixel for registration; correcting 1/2 pixel shift found in other distributions. Coastal masking based on 1-as SWDB data to set Oceans from zero to no-data and fill terrestrial voids also conducted. Update based on CIAT interpolated data also prepared, pending corroboration of shift. 1x1 tile to maximize AOI specific post-processing.
