Sudan: Road/River Intersections

About this dataset

This is a line dataset of the locations where a wadi (dried river bed) intersects a key access road in Sudan. The line gives the length of which the road is impacted by the wadi. This information was produced to understand which roads maybe more affected during the rainy season, when wadis can fill with water quickly. The dataset was produced in collaboration with the WFP Global Logistics Cluster. Please find more about the project here.

Documentation

Using a point tool, we asked 15 volunteers to categorise every one image on the Zooniverse platform. We asked volunteers to identify a road wadi crossing, and mark the length of the intersection with a line. We generated a consensus from the raw data, using a clustering algorithm called DBScan. The markings were validated by an expert by comparing the marks to satellite imagery within GIS.

Waterways of Sudan

Water features across the area: rivers, streams, canals, lakes, ponds, and water bodies tagged with `waterway`, `water`, or `natural=water`. Useful for flood-risk modelling, watershed analysis, and environmental basemap context. Coverage reflects where volunteer mappers have been active. Urban areas are usually well represented, remote areas may be sparse. Cross-check critical decisions with local field knowledge. - Source: OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map - Tags: waterway, water, natural - Part of the country exports on HDX by HOT
