Major hydrological basins and their sub-basins. This dataset divides the African continent according to its hydrological characteristics. The dataset consists of the following information:- numerical code and name of the major basin (MAJ_BAS and MAJ_NAME); - area of the major basin in square km (MAJ_AREA); - numerical code and name of the sub-basin (SUB_BAS and SUB_NAME); - area of the sub-basin in square km (SUB_AREA); - numerical code of the sub-basin towards which the sub-basin flows (TO_SUBBAS) (the codes -888 and -999 have been assigned respectively to internal sub-basins and to sub-basins draining into the sea)

The hydrographic sections, which make up the waterways, were extracted from the Topage database covering the study area.

The removal of the dams on the Sélune River is the subject of a scientific program launched in 2012, in which environmental parameters are monitored in order to provide real feedback on this restoration operation. In 2019, a data observatory was set up to collect and process these parameters (biotic and abiotic). The data acquired from 2012 and at least until 2027 will be centralized using an information system (IS) called SISelune. SISelune aims to assist scientists associated with the Sélune program and make the data accessible to all. Watercourses are linear hydrographic entities, linked to a main place name and broken down into hydrographic sections. These watercourses are extracted from the Topage database covering the study area. Codes that can be used within the Sélune program have been added, as well as codes from the former hydrographic reference system (Carthage database).

A flow obstruction is a water-related structure that causes a change in surface water flow (in thalwegs, minor and major river beds, and marine inundation zones). Only artificial obstructions (resulting from human activity) are taken into account. The data presented is taken from the ObstEcoul_FXX data layer published by SANDRE, spatially restricted to the Sélune watershed. The data retrieved was updated on 07/30/2024 from the above-mentioned feed and reprocessed to complete the type of obstacle with a “nature” field representing an aggregation of the types identified on the following values: “Dam”, “Spout”, “Dike”, “Bridge”, ‘Weir’ and “Not specified”. The aggregation implemented to populate the “nature” field is as follows: 1/ retrieval of the types of obstacles present in the watershed (source data field “CdTypeOuvr”). 2/ Retrieve the associated labels in the SANDRE reference: https://api.sandre.eaufrance.fr/referentiels/v1/nsa/284.csv?outputSchema=SANDREv3.1 3/ Filter these labels to populate the new “nature” field: - if the label contains “dam” then ‘nature’ is initialized to “Dam” - if the label contains “buse” (pipe), then “nature” is initialized to ‘Buse’ - if the label contains “digue” (dyke), then “nature” is initialized to “Digue” - if the label contains “pont” (bridge), then ‘nature’ is initialized to “Pont” - if the label contains “weir,” then “nature” is initialized to ‘Weir’ - if the label contains “not specified” (initially empty code), then “nature” is initialized to “Not specified” The other fields offered in the dataset are taken from the original SANDRE feed but have been renamed. The correspondence is provided in the associated data dictionary.

Les flux hydrologiques, sédimentaires fins et grossiers, et chimiques sont fortement impactés par la présence des barrages, alors que ces paramètres jouent un rôle majeur sur la qualité des habitats pour les communautés aquatiques. leur suivi sur le long terme est primordial dans le cadre d’une opération de restauration écologique après effacement de barrages. De plus sur la Sélune, le démantèlement s’accompagne d’une gestion spécifique des sédiments pour éviter un transfert massif de sédiments vers l’aval. Le transport des sédiments grossiers est étudié à l’aide de galets marqués par des transpondeurs passifs (pit tags). Ces pit tags ont été introduits dans plusieurs centaines de galets de différentes tailles du fleuve. Leurs déplacements au cours du cycle hydrologique sont suivis à l’aide d’une antenne que l’on déplace manuellement en parcourant la rivière, à raison d’une campagne par an. Cette couche donne les localisations des secteurs d'étude utilisés dans le suivi du transport des sédiments grossiers.
