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 surface water from an average distance of 57.86 km.Note that if a city gets a small fraction of its water from surface water, there will be calculated values for this metric, but it is not particularly meaningful for a city's water risk or opportunity profile.For more information, access the Urban Water Blueprint report here: http://www.iwa-network.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Urban-Water-Blueprint-Report.pdfYou can also visit the Urban Water Blueprint website here: http://water.nature.org/waterblueprint/#/intro=true

A city with a population in excess of 10 million is defined by the UN as a Megacity. The International Hydrological Programme of UNESCO has established the Megacities Alliance for Water and Climate Change to support the exchange of knowledge and best practices in delivering sustainable water and sanitation services in view of Climate Change. Creative Cities, intend to foster international cooperation with and between cities committed to investing in creativity as a driver for sustainable urban development, social inclusion and cultural vibrancy. Inclusive and Sustainable Cities are interested in sharing experiences in order to improve their policies to fight racism, discrimination, xenophobia and exclusion; and Learning cities provide inspiration, know-how and best practices in matter of international policy. The map presents the Cities UNESCO’s Sectors are supporting in their efforts to enhance knowledge exchange and achieve the SDGs of the 2030 Sustainable Agenda.

This layer presents estimations of the mean annual water footprint of national consumption per capita for the period 1996-2005. The water footprint is a measure of human’s appropriation of freshwater resources; it has three components: green, blue and grey. Estimations 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.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 .

This layer shows the percentage of water sourced from watershed(s) outside the watershed within which a given city resides. On average, cities secure 43% of their water supply via intebasin transfers. Note that if a city gets a small fraction of its water from surface water, there will be calculated values for this metric, but it is not particularly meaningful for a city's water risk or opportunity profile.For more information, access the Urban Water Blueprint report here: http://www.iwa-network.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Urban-Water-Blueprint-Report.pdfYou can also visit the Urban Water Blueprint website here: http://water.nature.org/waterblueprint/#/intro=true

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 Point Data Exchange (WPDx) platform, a tool established for sharing water point data throughout the global water sector. The goal of the Water Point Data Exchange is to simplify the way water point data is shared so all stakeholders can work more efficiently.For more information, visit the WPDx website at https://www.waterpointdata.org/

Results of a baseline survey of the sanitation and hygiene conditions in schools of Namibia as a part of UNESCO’s World Map Points of Interests Initiative (2014). As an example the ratios (56 boys (+/- 1.5) per 1 toilet, and 48 girls (+/- 1.8) per 1 toilet) only tell part of the story.

This map provides information (water quality, water level, etc...) of boreholes, dug wells, springs and surface water intake points in the transboundary Ocotepeque-Citala Aquifer.

This layer presents the ratio of male learners to school toilets in 100 schools in 3 provinces of El Salvador. On average, 56 male learners share one toilet, whereas 51 female learners share the same toilet. From our responses, 9 schools indicated they had no toilet facilities, and data is missing for 3 schools.

This layer shows industrial wastewater that is discharged after treatment, as a percentage of total industrial discharged in some countries of the Europe and North America region in 2010. On average, only 48.4% of wastewater was treated before being discharged.

The Agricultural Water Stress indicator identifies agricultural water stress of agricultural land under irrigation. It is calculated as the mean annual irrigation water consumption divided by the sum of mean annual runoff (MMR).For more information, visit: http://twap-rivers.org/

This map provides information on Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in mg/L in the Ocotepeque-Citala Aquifer in rainy season (July).
