The Free-flowing River Toolbox for ArcGIS Desktop is a tool to conduct a Free-flowing river analysis (FFR) - replicating the methodology described in Grill et al. (2019): Mapping the world's free-flowing rivers. The study can be downloaded at this link:
[https://hydrolab.io/wom/Grill et al 2019-Mapping the world's free-flowing \_Author copy.pdf](https://hydrolab.io/wom/Grill%20et%20al%202019-Mapping%20the%20world's%20free-flowing%20_Author%20copy.pdf)
The original source code that describes the methodology, as well as global data [is available at this link](https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Mapping_the_world_s_free-flowing_rivers_data_set_and_technical_documentation/7688801). However, the user is encouraged to use the newer, more flexible FFR Toolbox that can be launched from a Geographic Information System.
### Tutorial
