The EU-Hydro dataset is distributed in separate files (river network and drainage network) for each of the 35 major basins of the EEA38 + UK area, in GDB and GPKG formats. The production of EU-Hydro and the derived layers was coordinated by the European Environment Agency in the frame of the EU Copernicus programme.

The upgrade of the EU-Hydro beta version includes improvements of the usability of the dataset, of its topological and logical consistency and the River network characteristics. Catchments layers were also modified to fit the River networks. Topological overlapping and gaps between River Basin Districts were corrected. The EU-Hydro V1.1 upgrade includes the reclassification of polygons between InlandWater, Coastal-p, Transit_p and River_Net_p classes, the upgrade of the WFD codes using the WISE geospatial dataset for these feature classes, the improvement of logical consistency of attribute tables (deletion of irrelevant fields, recalculation of OBJECT_ID field, recalculation of geometry properties field). In Version 1.2 the Drainage network derived from EUDEM was incorporated to the river network of EU hydro: four feature classes were generated: River_Net_l_DN, Canals_l_DN, Ditches_l_DN and Nodes_DN. River names were updated using WISE geospatial database, except for Thames, Tweed and Türkiye where ECRINS was used instead. In version 1.3, 'River_Net_l' topology was adjusted to fit Coastal_p and Transit_p: polylines were deleted for Gota, Skjern, Shannon, Tweed. Polylines were added in Skjern, Mesima and Tajo on areas overlapping Transit_p. Nodes were modified accordingly. CUM_LEN, LONGPATH, LENGTH GEO fields were recalculated.
