Development of a Data Set for Continental Hydrologic Modelling

The data set was created for the purpose of updating/processing static input layers for LISFLOOD model. The LISFLOOD model is a hydrological rainfall-runoff model that is capable of simulating the hydrological processes that occur in a catchment. The new data set contains gridded numerical and descriptive information related to topography, channel geometry, land cover and soil characteristics of European and African river basins. This document gives a brief summary of the source geo-spatial data sets, the applied methodology and the main characteristics of resulted data.
