Description: These features are a compilation of the various VLFR, or equivalent, shapefiles found within the \\MASTERSERVER1\Mpingo\GIS\PFM subfolders.Iddi Emillius provided assistance locating additional, or alternate, VLFR shapefiles from sources other than the \\MASTERSERVER1\Mpingo\GIS\PFM subfolders. Despite those efforts, VLFRs could not be located for some village areas.Some VLFRs are not fully contained by their village boundary, and some may not fully contain their NTZs.The data source for each feature is recorded in the attribute table's SOURCE field.Carl Beyerhelm, 3 Oct 2017.
Description: File is based on expert knowledge and may underestimate the extent of permanent rivers. Names of individual rivers may vary from the name designated.

Description: All HydroBASINS layers were derived from World Wildlife Fund’s HydroSHEDS data based on a grid resolution of 15 arc-seconds (approximately 500 m at the equator). Watersheds were delineated in a consistent manner at different scales, and a hierarchical sub-basin breakdown was created following the topological concept of the Pfafstetter coding system. The resulting polygon layers are termed HydroBASINS and represent a subset of the HydroSHEDS database. This shapefile contains (sub-)basin polygons for Africa at Pfafstetter level 6.
