RiverATLAS
HydroATLAS river reach attributes. HydroRIVERS reaches with 56 hydro-environmental attributes.
The HydroRIVERS geometry joined with climate, land cover, soils, geology, population and human-impact attributes, each summarised for the local catchment and the whole upstream area. Useful when a river network needs catchment descriptors for regionalisation or machine learning.
