The TWDB advises that most of the model and data files linked on this page are very large (up to 25 gigabytes when uncompressed), and may take a long time to download. Your requested data may often be compressed into 7-Zip format for efficient downloading. The TWDB uses 7-Zip 21.07 to compress data files and should be compatible with most zip file format utility software.

GIS Users:
Many of our GAM databases contain features that are not compatible with ArcGIS Pro. We are currently in the process of converting these databases and will update the website accordingly. In the meantime, please contact us if you require ArcGIS Pro-compatible files so that we can prioritize the conversion of those datasets.
