The selection of important heavily modified surface waters was based on agreed criteria, e.g. a minimum length of 50 km length (of which at least 70 % are provisionally identified heavily modified water bodies; for
details see Chapter 4.6). This map does not include smaller heavily modified water bodies that may have been provisionally identified on the national level (see National reports - Part B).
Product of ICPDR, Vienna
This product includes geographical data licensed from European National Mapping Agencies. EuroGlobalMap v1.0 (EuroGeographics) was used as the basic topographic layer for DE, AT, CZ, IT, SI and HR. The data for the other countries is based on
VMAP Level 0 data from NIMA. The outer border of the DRBD is based on national information from DE, AT, CH, CZ, SK, SI, HR, BA, CS, BG, RO, UA and MD. For PL, AL, MK and IT the data of the European Commission (Joint Research Centre) was used.
