Positional Accuracy | This dataset contains inaccuracies as it is a simply an export of relevant hydrosheds that lay within the approximate boundaries of the ecoregions dataset and therefore is only an approximation and can not be used as definitive boundaries for the freshwater ecoregions |
Logical Consistency | There are no known issues with logical consistency. |
Completeness | This dataset is not complete. |
Process Step | Hydroshed areas were selected based upon the largest area that fall within each freshwater ecoregion. These area's were dissolved to create individual shapes before merging into one area covering the Mekong basin. |
Lineage | The dataset is combination of the 1. Hydrosheds level 3 - World map of the major hydrological basins (Derived from HydroSHEDS) 2011-02-02T11:44:00 Creation First edition.
