GENERAL INFORMATION G01. Dataset version 2.0.0 G02. Name of the dataset: Global river flood hazard maps G03. Description of the dataset: Global river flood hazard maps is a gridded data set representing inundation along the river network, for seven different flood return periods. The input river flow data for the new maps are produced by means of the open-source hydrological model LISFLOOD, while inundation simulations are performed with the hydrodynamic model LISFLOOD-FP.
