Abstract:
Hydrobelts divide the global landmasses into eight hydrological regions with resolution of 0.5°, based primarily on the annual average temperature (T) and runoff (q). The interbelt differences were maximised and intrabelt variability minimise. These hydrobelts are decomposed on continents as 26 hydroregions. The main aim of the dataset is to provide a robust reporting scale that could be used in water-related issues.
The spatial datafiles for both, hydrobelts and hydroregions, are provided as shp-files and ascii raster files with accompanied metadata.
