ABSTRACT:

This coverage contains drainage features at a scale of 1: 1000000.

All drainage line features have coordinate coincidence with coastlines and interior shorelines in places where they are in contact. For example, streams entering lakes end at coordinate positions that coincide with one of the coordinates describing the shoreline.

CONSTRAINTS:

 

Acknowledgment of DCW, UNDP and ESRI would be appreciated in products derived from these data.

The data should not be used for navigation or for producing maps requiring high geodetic accuracy.

POSITIONAL ACCURACY:

The absolute horizontal accuracy of the DCW for all features derived from Operational Navigation Charts (ONC) is 2040 meters (6700 feet) rounded to the nearest 5 meters at 90% Circular Error (CE), World Geodetic System (WGS84).

The absolute horizontal accuracy of the DCW for all features derived from Jet Navigation Charts  (JNC) is 4270 meters (14006 feet) at 90% Circular Error.

The absolute vertical accuracy of the DCW is the same as for the original ONC and JNC

 lithographs at 90% Linear Error (LE), Mean Sea Level (MSL)..
