Methodology:
The European River Catchments were created using as main input the CCM River and Catchment Database (source: JRC, 2006) version 2.0, extracting watersheds order 5 (CCM2 wso5). The coastline of the European River Catchments was extracted from the EuroGlobalMap water lines dataset version 1.1 (source: Eurogeographics). Manual editing, based on different national and international information sources, was needed to obtain data consistency with EuroGlobalMap. Attributes are created partly using attributes from EuroGlobalMap. Please download the methodology document for further description.
