Sub-basins of Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) Region
The dataset provides second level or sub-basin river boundaries of ten major river basins in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region – the Amu Darya, Brahmaputra (Yarlungtsanpo), Ganges, Indus, Irrawaddy, Mekong (Lancang), Salween (Nu), Tarim (Dayan), Yangtse (Jinsha), and the Yellow River (Huanghe). In addition, it also includes boundaries of two interior river basins. The dataset has been developed from NASA’s 90m resolution Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) digital elevation model.
