Statement

Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) 90m Digital Elevation Data was originally produced by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The NASA Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) has provided digital elevation data (DEMs) for over 80% of the globe covering all of the countries of the world. The SRTM 90m DEM's have a resolution of 90m at the equator, and are provided in mosaiced 5 deg x 5 deg tiles for easy download and use. All are produced from a seamless dataset to allow easy mosaicing. The SRTM 90m DEM's data was downloaded from CGIAR-SCI GeoPortal website, http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/ The DEM data was further processed in Arc GIS environment with a new projection into Arc 1960 datum and used for catchment delineation in the study area. It was used as primary elevation data for subsequent hydrological and hydrogeological analysis and modelling work in the project. Based on Jarvis A., H.I. Reuter, A. Nelson, E. Guevara, 2008, Hole-filled seamless SRTM data V4, International Centre for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), available from http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org.
