Freshwater abstracted in 2007
This layer represents the volume of freshwater abstracted in 2007 in million cubic meters. Freshwater abstracted refers to the sum of both fresh surface water and fresh... -
Global flood occurence (1985-2011)
Flood occurrences is the number of flood recorded from 1985 to 2011. Flood counts were calculated by intersecting hydrological units with estimated flood extent polygons. -
Cities' average distance to surface diversion sources
The average distance to surface diversion sources is expressed in kilometers. Today, cities are looking farther beyond their limits for clean water. On average, cities retrieve... -
Presence of water in 39 water points in Colombia (2013)
This layer identifies if any water was available at the water point on the day of the visit (recognizing that it may be a limited flow) in Honduras. Data was gathered from the... -
Water Poverty Index (2002)
This layer presents the Water Poverty Index (WPI) in 141 countries around the world. The WPI is a water management tool that expresses an interdisciplinary measure which links... -
Volume of wastewater generated by industry in 2011 (in millions of m3)
This layer shows the volume of wastewater generated by industry in the Europe and North America region, expressed in millions of cubic meters. Spain generates the largest... -
Proportion of Municipal Water supply from Desalinization Process
Today, cities are looking farther beyond their limits for clean water. Some cities involve desalinization procedures, investing billions of dollars to partially supply clean... -
Area equipped for irrigation with water from non-conventional water sources
Area equipped for irrigation with water from non-conventional water sources as a percentage of total area equipped for irrigation. The statistics with a reference year closest... -
Presence of water in 773 water points in Nicaragua (1980-2016)
This layer identifies if any water was available at the water point on the day of the visit (recognizing that it may be a limited flow) in Nicaragua. Data was gathered from the... -
Annual Stress Category
Water withdrawals or water abstractions, is the freshwater taken from ground or surface water sources and conveyed to a place of use. These, normally, are sectorial distributed... -
Wastewater discharge points adversely affecting the environment (2011-2012)
This layer presents wastewater discharge points where comprehensive studies indicate whether or not the discharge adversely affects the environment. In 2012, 6.1% of discharge... -
Global return flow ratio
Return flow ratio measures the percent of available water previously used and discharged upstream as wastewater. Higher values indicate higher dependence on treatment plants and... -
Flooding in Pakistan (August, 2010)
This layer shows NASA's Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite images of Pakistan on August 11, 2010, after two weeks of flooding had devastated the country. By early August 2010,... -
Proportion of Municipal Water coming from Surface Sources
Today, cities are looking farther beyond their limits for clean water. Many cities rely partially or totally on surface water sources. The study of the Natural Conservancy focus... -
Global groundwater stress (1958-2000)
Groundwater stress measures the ratio of groundwater withdrawal relative to its recharge rate over a given aquifer. Values above one indicate where unsustainable groundwater... -
Physical exposition to flood events
This layer presents an estimation of the annual physical exposition to flood. Unit is expected average annual population (2007 as the year of reference) exposed (inhabitants).... -
Groundwater pollution risk in Africa (2016)
Groundwater pollution risk is determined both by the intrinsic vulnerability of the aquifer and the existence of potentially polluting activities at the soil surface. This... -
Surface water as abstraction source for drinking water supply in 2014
