        Summary
        Levees and dykes protect life and livelihoods in deltaic areas however their existence is poorly documented and their effect in flood severity and flood management is difficult to quantify as data for these are usually lacking and where it exists, is not standardised. By defining a standard data storage format, following best practice and INSPIRE guidelines, data for 152 global deltas (following Edmonds et al 2020) was collected and uniformly stored. This data is continuously improved and can be used for flood and impact modelling. This report precedes, and complements the website www.opendelve.eu and the research dataset at doi:10.34894/2WZ0S9
