    Description:
      Abstract: This GIS dataset includes watersheds of the North Bamyan area of interest (AOI) derived from its corresponding Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) data (30 m resolution), created from stream orders 3 and higher.
      Purpose: Multi-use hydrographic dataset to be used in the assessment, monitoring, and management of Afghanistan's mineral deposits.
