Discover data collection

Discover a comprehensive selection of high-quality products tailored to support every phase of your hydrological Studies. Our platform aims to provide centralised access to a vast array of hydrological data originally scattered across multiple platforms. Primarily designed to distribute spatial hydrology data, it also offers valuable collections of model and field data to enhance your research.
Find quickly what you need

Use an intuitive filtering system to quickly find the products best suited to your application. You can easily refine your search by product type, geographical location, time period, and other key criteria. This smart and user-friendly interface helps you access the most relevant hydrological data and tools in just a few clicks, making your research faster, more efficient, and perfectly tailored to your project’s needs.
Experiment online

Explore and interact with data directly online before downloading. Visualize them on dynamic maps, generate plots and graphs, and compare different datasets to better understand their relevance. This interactive environment allows you to assess data quality and consistency, helping you decide whether they truly meet your study’s objectives before committing to a download.
Access centralized documentation

Access detailed insights about each product, including its technical specifications, data structure, and available formats or packaging. Learn how to use the products effectively through clear documentation, usage examples, and best practices. This comprehensive information helps you better understand the data’s content and applicability, ensuring you can integrate it smoothly into your hydrological workflows.
Download products freely

Easily download the products you’ve selected through tailored download options. For those who wish to explore our products hands-on, sample downloads are readily available. The platform offers an online download manager alongside script-based solutions to cater to all user preferences, including the ability to download individual feature time series from graphs.
Work by script

Use scripts to explore data collections and products efficiently through the STAC API with tools such as EODAG or PySTAC, or choose to download them directly using our dedicated API. This flexible approach allows you to automate searches, filter datasets by area, period, or variable, and easily integrate the results into your own workflows. Whether you are building large-scale processing pipelines or running targeted analyses, these APIs provide full control and reproducibility for your hydrological data operations.
Latest news
Updates of the SWOT Complete Mask collections
on 2026/08/03Dear users,
Please be aware that the products distributed under the following collections have been updated with the latest version:
- SWOT Complete Cal/Val Tile Mask
- SWOT Complete Nominal Tile Mask
- SWOT Complete Cal/Val Scene Mask
- SWOT Complete Nominal Scene Mask
If you were already working with these collections, you should update your products by downloading the latest version.
If you are working by script, we also exceptionally updated the collection IDs (necessary to download with the py_hydroweb API) to uniform all names.
Diffusion of two new collections based on SWOT products
on 2026/07/30During this summer period, the hydroweb.next catalogue continues to expand. The hydroweb.next team announces the release of two new collections, each accompanying a scientific publication that is currently being prepared or revised:
- “Mean Lake Surface from SWOT,” available directly via the DOI https://doi.org/10.24400/329360/MEAN_LAKE_SURFACE
- “SWOT L4 River Bathymetry SICFLOW,” available directly via the DOI https://doi.org/10.24400/329360/SWOT_L4_BATHY_SICFLOW_V1
Both collections are based on SWOT products. The first provides a mean elevation of lake surfaces for a selection of roughly 1,300 large lakes and can be seen as a proxy for the geoid elevation beneath these lakes. The second provides an actual reconstruction of the so‑called “dry” bathymetry of river beds—that is, the elevation range between the lowest and highest surface measurements—and can be used for 1D river modeling.
New tools to manipulate displayable layers from the Map view
on 2026/07/29Dear users,
A new functionality has just been deployed on our platform: the "Layers" drawer, accessible from the Map View. It allows you to directly manipulate and re-organize the several layers in your workspace. This panel complements the "Workspace" panel.
Try it out and tell us what you think.
