Short summary
Irrigation canals deliver water to farms and sustain much of the world’s food supply, yet no global dataset previously existed. GRAIN (Global Registry of Agricultural Irrigation Networks) is the first openly accessible, worldwide map of irrigation canals, and was built using community driven mapping efforts and machine learning. GRAIN contains data on nearly 4 million kilometers of canals, and this resource can support better water planning and agricultural management efforts by governments, researchers, and communities worldwide.
