A global database of large-scale transverse drainages

Transverse drainages, also known as water gaps, are streams which appear to bypass the path of least resistance and flow directly through topographic highlands. Here, a global dataset is presented of over 1500 large-scale transverse drainages (>100 m depth) which are identified and described base...

Sumario:Transverse drainages, also known as water gaps, are streams which appear to bypass the path of least resistance and flow directly through topographic highlands. Here, a global dataset is presented of over 1500 large-scale transverse drainages (>100 m depth) which are identified and described based on physical characteristics alone, independent of any presumed method of origin.
