This...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 raster has a resolution of 15*15 km. It was generated by combining a groundwater vulnerability model (based on the DRASTIC method) with land use/land cover (from the GlobCoverdatat set) using an additive model.

After days of torrential rain pushed the lower Limpopo River over its banks in late January 2013, flood water surrounded the city of Xai-Xai in southern Mozambique. The death toll in Mozambique reached 68, and the estimated number of people affected ranged from 180,000 to 250,000.

The water footprint is a measure of human’s appropriation of freshwater resources. The blue water footprint refers to consumption of blue water resources (surface and ground water).Estimations are given in million cubic meter per year (MCM/year). Disaggregated data per sectors are available in the table: agricultural production, industrial production and domestic water.A detailed description of the methodology and results can be found in the main report available here: http://temp.waterfootprint.org/Reports/Report50-NationalWaterFootprints-Vol1.pdf For more information, visit the Water Footprint Network website: http://temp.waterfootprint.org/?page=files/WaterStat

A negative sign means a net national water loss instead of a saving. Here, green water savings through the trade of industrial and agricultural products are considered. Annual estimations are given for the period 1996-2005, in million cubic meter per year.

The water footprint is a measure of human’s appropriation of freshwater resources. The green water footprint is the volume of green water (rainwater) consumed, which is particularly relevant in crop production. Estimation are given in cubic meter per capita per year. In the table, data are also available disaggregated per sectors: agricultural production, industrial production and domestic water use.Methodology and results can be found in the main report: http://temp.waterfootprint.org/Reports/Report50-NationalWaterFootprints-Vol1.pdf .

The water footprint is a measure of human’s appropriation of freshwater resources. The grey water footprint is the volume of freshwater required to assimilate the load of pollutants based on existing ambient water quality standards.Estimations are given in million cubic meter (MCM) per year. Disaggregated data per sectors are available in the table: agricultural production, industrial production and domestic water.The main report on the subject is available here: http://temp.waterfootprint.org/Reports/Report50-NationalWaterFootprints-Vol1.pdf .
