| Abstract | Compiled spatial database for pondscapes obtained from PONDERFUL partner countries containing spatial data and attributes of the ponds. The spatial distribution of the pondscapes in Europe were obtained from global and local databases. Database consists of spatial information such as latitude and longitude of the ponds in geographic coordinates, name, code, land cover, intensity, hydro period, surface area, perimeter, maximum depth, mean depth, altitude, measurement year, created year, information about work packages and installed sensor information. A web application has been developed to display spatial distribution and available information of ponds from the individual countries. The application allows users to dynamically visualize the ponds and download pond’s available data, hydro period information and pond database spatially. Web application can be accessed from the following link: https://ponderful.hidrosaf.com/ |

| Lineage | For those features that could not be retrieved from the available local databases, available datasets from each participant country were collected. Geocoded and detailed GIS layers showing all ponds were created and used as ground truth for mapping and validating hydro period information. |
