36. The Mississippi river network was extracted from a topography dataset composed of digital elevations models obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey and are available on the Internet at www.usgs.gov. The dataset is decimated so as to have horizontal resolution of approximately 1000 m leading to an order (Formula presented) network.
37. The topography dataset used for the Amazon was obtained from the website of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (www.nima.mil). The dataset has a horizontal resolution of approximately 1000 m yielding and order (Formula presented) network for the Amazon.
38. The data for the Nile come from the U.S. Geological Survey’s 30 arc second HydrolK dataset, available on the Internet at edcftp.cr.usgs.gov, which has a grid spacing of approximately 1000 m. At this resolution, the Nile is an order (Formula presented) basin.
