The Center for Global Environmental Research at the National Institute for Environmental Studies has developed a Global Drainage Basin Database (GDBD) as one part of its database project. The GDBD is a database made up of six GIS data collections (drainage basin boundary data, river network data, discharge gauging station data, natural lake data, dam lake data, and flow direction data) that store a wide range of information on natural and social sciences. The GDBD provides basic information to a variety of water-related fields and shows promise as a useful research and analysis tool for resolving water problems.
