Adapt geodata and metadata for geodata services in the water network area

Read aloud

If you notice that the digital watercourse network does not correspond to the local conditions, you can report this. This takes the form of an adjustment, addition or deletion of data (geodata or metadata) for a body of water at the Lower Saxony State Agency for Water Management, Coastal Defence and Nature Conservation. This data is then updated in the digital watercourse network. The watercourse network is a database of watercourses within the state of Lower Saxony. Please make sure that you have all the information required for the entry. This includes the following information Coordinates of the watercourse section, name of the watercourse, watercourse identification number, connection to the digital watercourse network and, if applicable, the location sketch and query about regular draining of the watercourse. Missing information can be found online in the Lower Saxony environmental map. Your advertisement is free of charge.
