The UNECE-WHO/Europe Protocol on Water and Health aims to protect human health and well being by better water management and by preventing, controlling and reducing water-related diseases. The Protocol was adopted on 17 June 1999. For the current participation status of the Protocol, as well as information and relevant texts of related treaty actions, such as reservations, declarations, objections, denunciations and notifications, see: https://treaties.un.org/Pages/ViewDetails.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=XXVII-5-a&chapter=27&clang=_en

Population using an improved sanitation facility at the household level that is not shared with other households and where excreta is safely disposed of in situ or treated off site, including a handwashing facility with soap and water in the household. Improved sanitation facilities include flush or pour flush toilets to sewerage systems, septic tanks or pit latrines, improved pit latrines (pit latrines with a slab or ventilated pit latrines) and composting toilets. A handwashing facility is a device to contain, transport or regulate the flow of water to facilitate handwashing.

This layer shows limits pose by challenges and capacities to African cities. Although the main challenges in terms of magnitude exist in the larger cities, these are also relatively better-placed in terms of institutional and economic capacity to address the problems through economies of scale. Most smaller cities lack this advantage and clearly need to focus on capacity-building as a necessary step towards improving their water and wastewater management systems.

Groundwater stress measures the ratio of groundwater withdrawal relative to its recharge rate over a given aquifer. Values above one indicate where unsustainable groundwater consumption could affect groundwater availability and groundwater-dependent ecosystems.

Transboundary aquifer vulnerability to climate change is calculated as the extent of expected groundwater budget regime change in response to change in climate. A high vulnerability is indicative of transboundary aquifers actively interacting with streams, atmosphere and/or sea (e.g. coastal aquifers, SIDS, shallow watertable aquifers, karst aquifers).

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 Guatemala. 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/

This layer presents the ratio of female learners to school toilets in 53 schools in Lima province, Peru. On average, 30 female learners share one toilet, and 36 male learners share the same toilet. From the responses, two schools have no toilet facilities for girls.

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.

Data is expressed as the percentage of households connected to the sewage network.

The dataset presents 687 rivers associated to 405 Major River Basins.Data was collected within the framework of the BGR-UNESCO "World-wide Hydrogeological Mapping and Assessment Programme" (WHYMAP): www.whymap.org

Groundwaters of the Dinaric Karst form some of the world's largest karst aquifer systems. The Dinaric region contains huge amounts of high quality groundwater. It is one of the major contributors of freshwater entering the Adriatic Sea. The Dinaric Karst Aquifer System extends from NE Italy through Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro to Albania. Karst formations connected with the Dinaric carbonate chain outcrop also in Serbia, FYR Macedonia, and possibly in NW Greece.In the framework of the DIKTAS GEF-project (2010-2014) executed by UNESCO-IHP, the four DIKTAS project countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Montenegro) have agreed to create two mechanisms in order to facilitate enhanced consultation and exchange of information between the governmental entities that are involved in water resources management.For more information, visit: http://diktas.iwlearn.org/
