Welcome to the IDIS Basin Kits section !
Introduction
The IDIS Basin Kits provide baseline data layers (vector and grid) for each of
the IWMI and CPWF basins covering various domains such as climate, agriculture,
soil, land use, topography, etc. For a complete list of the baseline of the
data layers and their associated metadata click

researchers and their teams reduce the time required to integrate baseline
datasets, carry out spatial analysis and establish preliminary conclusions.
Integrated data layers
For each basin all baseline layers are integrated into a common projection
system – as a result researchers and their teams don’t have to spend to
integrate layers from different sources together into a common projection
system. All layers are clipped to each of the basin’s boundaries - as a result
each basin kit contains only data relevant to the basin in a compact storage
size.
Spatial analysis
All baseline layers can be used in any combination of spatial (vector and/or
grid) operators (buffer, topology, geostatistics) and/or attribute queries – as
a result each basin kit is a ready-to-use product for researchers and their
teams.
Preliminary conclusions
All baseline layers for each basin kit feature reliable and documented
scientific data – as a result researchers and their teams can comfortably
derive preliminary conclusions that serve as a basis for further investigation.
