  "description" : "UNCLASSIFIED Water is one of the natural resources which are abundant in Liberia, thanks in part to its topography and geographic location at the terminus of several large watersheds which originate outside of its administrative borders. Several large lakes and six main rivers constitute the bulk of the major hydrologic features in the country.Lake Piso is the largest lake in Liberia, stretching nearly 40 square miles. Like many other large waterbodies in the country, it is tidally influenced and is also therefore brackish. The lakes surrounding the Bong Mine complex, including the large Bong Mine reservoir are freshwater lakes, fed from tributaries, streams and direct precipitation.More profuse are the many rivers that run throughout the country. The Mano River forms a large portion of the border with Sierra Leone and the Cavalla (also known as the Cavally) River constitutes the great majority of the border with the neighboring Ivory Coast. However, despite their total distance covered, Liberia’s rivers are largely under-utilized in terms of transportation and hydroelectric usage to date. Additionally, access to safe drinking water in the country is relatively low, primarily due to a lack of adequate treatment facilities and conveyance infrastructure outside of major population centers.Attribute table field descriptionsISO3-International Organization for Standardization 3-digit country codeADM0_NAME-Administration level zero identification / nameMAJ_NAME-Name of major watershed in which feature residesSUB_NAME-Name of sub watershed in which feature residesTYPE-Classification in the geodatabaseHYDRO_DESC-Hydrology description typeSTRAHLER-Strahler stream-order number for attributeCOMMENTS-Comments or notes regarding the water featureSOURCE_DT-Source one creation dateSOURCE-Source oneSOURCE2_DT-Source two creation dateSOURCE2-Source twoCollectionThe data in this Human Geography Information Survey (HGIS) was developed from United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) HydroSHEDS data, which was originally created from orthorectified image mosaics collected during the February 2000 Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) at three arc-second resolution. The result is a near- global stream network based on individual watersheds. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) further improved this data by attributing individual watersheds and sub-watersheds with names and Strahler stream-order numbering. The Strahler number indicates the number of tributaries which are attached to each node (i.e. if a node has no children, or tributaries attached to it, it's Strahler number is one). This data was then clipped to the DigitalGlobe level zero administrative boundary for the country. Additionally, additional attribute information including name and type of feature is included from various other sources where applicable.It should be noted that these features were derived from image mosaics collected during a specific temporal range, and as such, may only reflect the status of water bodies present at that point in time. However, given the relatively detailed resolution and vast coverage of this data (from 60 degrees North to 56 South latitude), this dataset represents the best near-global coverage of surface water bodies (in polyline form) available.The data included herein have not been derived from a registered survey and should be considered approximate unless otherwise defined. While rigorous steps have been taken to ensure the quality of each dataset, DigitalGlobe Analytics is not responsible for the accuracy and completeness of data compiled from outside sources.Sources (HGIS)DigitalGlobe, \"DigitalGlobe Imagery Archive.\" Accessed September 30, 2014.Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), “Digital Chart of the World.” Last modified January 1993.
