Abstract

Great Britain's (England, Scotland, Wales) rivers, watercourses and water bodies represented as a connected network, polygons and/or lines. This data is often used for environmental monitoring and risk assessment, navigation, statistical analysis. OS Rivers Data includes freshwater rivers, tidal estuaries, lakes and canals as well as water flowing through aqueducts, tunnels and underground. Additional attribution, including name, type, height, flow direction, gradient, length, width and source is available in various OS data products. OS Rivers Data is supplied in a number of OS data products, including: OS MasterMap Water Network Layer, OS Open Rivers, OS MasterMap Topography Layer, VectorMap Local and VectorMap District. Small-scale cartographic representations are also availble in OS catpgraphic products. All data is collected by Ordnance Survey. Culvert data within OS MasterMap Water Network Layer is sourced from Scottish Local Authorities. as part of their role as the National Mapping Agency of Great Britain.
