Map of small reservoirs in Brazil in 2021, from "Mapping one million small dams in Brazil reveals widespread environmental and policy impacts"

Maps of small reservoirs in Brazil in 2021 from "Mapping one million small dams in Brazil reveals widespread environmental and policy impacts". Distributed in three formats, all in SAD 1969 Albers South America (ESRI:102033) projection: A. reservoirs_sentinel_2021_polygons.gpkg --- GeoPackage of reservoir polygons B. reservoirs_sentinel_2021_points.gpkg --- GeoPackage of reservoir centroid points C. reservoirs_sentinel_2021.tif --- GeoTIFF raster with following values: - 1 = Reservoir - 0 = Non-reservoir - 255 = No data (outside Brazil land mass) --------- Also includes: sicar_reservoirs_merged.gpkg: A merged reservoir dataset from SICAR (Sistema Nacional de Cadastro Ambiental Rural), Brazil's national database of rural environment regsitry data. The reservoir polygons are manually dilineated by property owners and/or state environmental agencies. To make this combined dataset, we downloaded all available state-level hydrography data, selected only in-stream artificial reservoirs (cod_tema = "RESERVATORIO_ARTIFICIAL_DECORRENTE_BARRAMENTO"), and merged them, including a spatial join of overlapping and/or fragmented polygons resulting from digitization artificats and property boundaries. Note that accuracy/completeness varies dramatically between states. See manuscript [link/DOI to be added upon release] for a more detailed discussion and use recommendations.
