V2.1.0 (2024-11-08)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Fixed issues with missing data and erroneous hydraulic model tiles in flood hazard maps across various return periods by regenerating mosaics, correcting channel depth, and masking where needed.
- Improved permanent water bodies dataset by removing channels in desert areas. 
- New additional dataset: for each tile a new flood hazard map is available with water depth categorised following the GloFAS "Flood hazard 100 year return period" static layer; 
- New additional dataset: the Global_SpuriousDepths.tif identifies areas where depths >10m are predicted in small channels (<3,000km^2) for the 10 year return period, plus a 2km buffer. Very high water depths may be caused by limitations in the hydraulic model in combination with the spatial resolution or by artificial sinks in the DEM. Users should exercise caution when using the depth values in these areas.
