GloFAS lakes and reservoirs | Lakes (the largest 463) and reservoirs (the largest 667) as included in the GloFAS model set up. Selection criteria are:

Flood hazard 100 year return period | Inundated areas for flood events with a return period of 100 years, based on GloFAS climatology. Permanent water bodies derived from the Global Lakes and Wetlands Database and from the Natural Earth lakes map.

Upstream Area | The GloFAS river network is plotted with river pixels above 1000 km2, represented by the upstream area (in km2).
| Map | NA | |
Reservoir impact | The map illustrates the potential impact of reservoirs included in GloFAS on river discharge at global scale. To provide a continuous estimate of the potential reservoir effect along river reaches, the ratio of reservoir volume to mean annual discharge was calculated for each grid cell. This ratio makes use of the upstream cumulative reservoir capacity [m3] and the cell-specific total volume of annual natural river discharge [m3].

Administrative Regions | Administrative regions merged using NUTS-2 or NUTS-3 classification from EUROSTAT and the region classification from GADM.
