External data used in the model were derived from the global map of surface waters ([[Lehner and Döll, 2004]]), the lake depth database ([[Kourzeneva, 2010]]), and the map of dams and reservoirs ([[Lehner et al., 2011]). All other input is generated by other IMAGE modules. The empirical relationships between aquatic biodiversity and land use, nutrient budgets and hydrological changes, were derived from an extensive compilation of case studies on rivers, lakes and wetlands.
