The line network datasets of HydroRIVERS are distributed both in ESRI® ‘geodatabase’ and ‘shapefile’ formats. Each HydroRIVERS shapefile consists of five main files (.dbf, .sbn, .sbx, .shp, .shx), and projection information is provided in an ASCII text file (.prj). All HydroRIVERS data layers are provided in geographic (latitude/longitude) projection, referenced to datum WGS84. In ESRI® software this projection is defined by the geographic coordinate system GCS_WGS_1984 and datum D_WGS_1984.
