This is a global database of dams developed by digitising visible dams in Google Earth and naming them. The database has been developed as part of the pantropical hydrology research at King's College London (http://www.ambiotek.com/tropicalhydrology) . We have used it to examine hydrological inputs to these dams and the impacts of climate and land use change. It is made available to the user community in raw and unfinished form in the hope that others will contribute to its development so that it will grow in use and utility.
The Transboundary Freshwater Dispute Database, developed and maintained by the OSU College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, in collaboration with the Northwest Alliance for Computational Science and Engineering. There are six main components of the database: Data contains both global and regional information in searchable tabular and spatial datasets, treaty and compact libraries, and GIS shapefiles available for download. Research and Projects includes completed and ongoing projects and links to projects either conducted at or collaborated with Oregon State University faculty and students. Bibliographies and Digital Collections contains the Water Conflict and Cooperation Bibliography and the Middle East Water Collection of scholarly papers ranging from the historic perspective to the present day. Publications includes papers and books related to water conflict and/or cooperation, with links to download. Map and Image Gallery features maps and images for download created by current and former students and faculty, as well as collaborating partners. Useful Resources and External Links is a list of related water conflict and cooperation websites. Wide use of electronic and hardcopy versions of data, GIS coverages, and findings produced by the Transboundary Freshwater Dispute Database (TFDD) project is encouraged.
