Metadata

Methodology:: Dams dataset compiles dams included in ECRINS spatial database complemanted by dams located in Western Balkans region (added by TC Vode). River dataset is composed by ECRINS "large" rivers (see additional information). Dams have been filtered by the following procedure: 1. Attributive linking with river (selecting dams by linking river dataset (river name) with dam dataset (rivers.RiverName*=dams.ic_river)). 2.Spatial linking (dams which are located within 500 m river buffer belt are selected).
