Definition
- The Baltic Drainage Basin Project (BDBP) is a multi-disciplinary research project under the EU 1991-1994 Environment Research Programme. It was developed as joint effort between the Beijer Institute, Stockholm, Department of Systems Ecology, Stockholm University and UNEP/GRID-Arendal. The GIS database, mainly focusing upon land cover/land use and population, was developed as a joint effort between the Beijer Institute, Stockholm; the Department of Systems Ecology, Stockholm University; and UNEP/GRID-Arendal. The database was used for analytical purposes during the BDBP. Following this, the GIS database was further refined and prepared for public dissemination. Concurrently, a number of maps in conventional graphical formats were prepared and included. The GIS and Maps database was first released in August 1995. Later, a number of statistical tables, also derived from the GIS database, were included. The available data sets include administrative units, arable lands, pasture lands, coastlines, land cover, population density, sub-watershed drainage basins, and wetland distribution.
