In this video, you will learn how to use HydroSHEDS data, which is a high-resolution global dataset of hydrographic features, such as river networks, watersheds, and drainage basins to create a 3D elevation and river basin map of Poland, a country in Central Europe with diverse landscapes and hydrology.

    Thank you so much for the clear and spectacular tutorials. I created the river basin map of Afghanistan using the instructions with some modifications. It turned out to be a piece of art 🖼️ so thanks again. Keep doing what you do.
  • @AliMunirFarooqui
    Hi Milos I am new to R programming and have been following along your tutorials for past few weeks and throughly enjoying the experience , just a quick question which IDE are you using? because the help files popups look quite helpful in this one , it doesn't appear on Rstudio
  • @serhatcetin7836
    Hello Milos. Do we need to write the places written as "##########" at the beginning of the video and as it progresses? This confused me a little. Thanks.
  • @elisaurysuarez5927
    Hello Milos, my computer did not do very well with the rendering, what capacity is needed and I assume that if a smaller area is used the rendering will be less complicated
  • @koubeen16
    It was very benefits didn't know that R can do this much ! Thank you I Have a question where do I get the lambert projection transformation? Again thank you very much
  • @gadisageremew7991
    The Final map you posted on this video doesn’t looks like on R studio! How did you produced it???
  • @HamzahAhmad-vo9hg
    Sir, may i ask what apps you used to create this map? is it Visual Code Studio or RStudio? I'm from Indonesia and i'm planning on doing what you're doing but with watershed around my hometown.
  • @philtaylor4071
    Hi Milos, really great tutorial thank you. I have run through it, but at the render scene stage, R returns this error Error "in grDevices::png(filename = tempoverlay, width = width, height = height, : unable to start png() device" Any clue toi how I should trouble shoot this?
  • @rollas260
    Bom dia, Me perdoe o amadorismo, mas vc está usando o R Studio? ou é em Python? qual software digito esses códigos? grato desde já.

    Dear Milo. What are teh system requirements. and what is the processing time.
