GRIT remaps the world's rivers, branching into the unknown to aid global flood modeling

New Global River Map Is the First to Include River Bifurcations and Canals

GRIT provides a much more detailed look at how rivers merge and split, which could enhance hydrological modeling, flood forecasting, and water management efforts.

GRIT remaps the world's rivers, branching into the unknown to aid global flood modeling

A team led by researchers at the University of Oxford has created the most complete map of the world's rivers ever made, offering a major leap forward for flood prediction, climate risk planning, and water resource management in a warming world.

The largest rivers in the world: Phoenix16.05.
