Layer: Nepal Tributaries (HydroRIVERS)

Explorer label: Nepal rivers
Layer group: Hydrology and basin layers
Feature count: 22

HydroRIVERS-derived Nepal tributaries relevant to the power and basin story, including WECS potential where available.

Summary

This layer contains HydroRIVERS-derived Nepal tributary linework curated around hydropower-relevant rivers. It connects project clusters, basins, and downstream systems to named river corridors in the explorer.

What It Represents

This layer turns the basin story into named river corridors. It uses HydroRIVERS-derived linework curated around hydropower-relevant Nepal tributaries, so the map can connect projects, basins, and downstream systems to specific rivers rather than only broad polygons.

How To Read It

Use it to orient project clusters by river, to see which tributaries feed each basin, and to connect wiki pages about projects to the hydrological system they depend on. It is most useful with hydropower or basin-seasonality layers turned on.

Coverage / Method

The layer covers 22 Nepal tributary features listed in Map Inventory. It uses HydroRIVERS-derived linework with hydropower-relevant curation and includes WECS potential context where available.

Caveats

HydroRIVERS linework is good for network context, but it is not a survey-grade river centerline. Some smaller or locally important streams may be absent, simplified, or named differently across sources.
