This layer presents water abstraction in Cubic Meters per capita per year for 32 countries (23 in Europe and North America, 5 in Asia and the Pacific, 4 in Latin America and the Caribbean) at the most recent date between 2008 and 2012. However, data are available from 1975 to 2014 for 39 countries. Water abstractions or water withdrawals, are defined as freshwater taken from ground or surface water sources, either permanently or temporarily, and conveyed to a place of use. The data include abstractions for public water supply, irrigation, industrial processes, cooling of electric power plants, mine water and drainage water.For more information, visit the OECD database: https://data.oecd.org/water/water-withdrawals.htm#indicator-chart

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 El Salvador. 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 represents the percentage of the population who is connected to a wastewater treatment plan for 36 countries (29 in Europe and North America, 3 in Asia and the Pacific, 3 in Latin America and the Caribbean, and 1 in Africa). However, data are available from 1975 to 2014 for 37 countries. This indicator presents sewage treatment connection rates, i.e. the percentage of the population connected to a wastewater treatment plant. “Connected” means actually connected to a wastewater treatment plant through a public sewage network. It does not take into account independent private facilities, used where public systems are not economic.For more information, visit the OECD database: https://data.oecd.org/water/waste-water-treatment.htm

UNECE and UNESCO as co-custodian agencies, were responsible for compiling and verifying country data and metadata. Indicator 6.5.2 tracks the percentage of transboundary basin area within a country that has an operational arrangement for water cooperation.

This layer presents the percentage of Indigenous people who have access to improved sanitation services in 11 countries of the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region.In LAC, Indigenous peoples are 26 percent less likely to have access to to improved sanitation than the region’s Non-Indigenous populations. Lack of access to Water Supply and Sanitation (WSS) services perpetuates chronic poverty. Extending the human right of access to WSS services to Indigenous peoples represents the final step for many countries of the region to reach universal water coverage.For more information, access the report here: https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/handle/10986/25405/110266-WP-Toolkit-Indigenous-Peoples-and-WSS-in-LAC-PUBLIC.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y

This layer presents the percentage of Indigenous people who have access to piped water services in 13 countries of the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region. In LAC, Indigenous peoples are 10 to 25 percent less likely to have access to piped water than the region’s Non-Indigenous populations. Lack of access to Water Supply and Sanitation (WSS) services perpetuates chronic poverty. Extending the human right of access to WSS services to Indigenous peoples represents the final step for many countries of the region to reach universal water coverage.For more information, access the report here: https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/handle/10986/25405/110266-WP-Toolkit-Indigenous-Peoples-and-WSS-in-LAC-PUBLIC.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y

This layer presents estimation of the mean annual blue water footprint of national production for the period 1996-2005. 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

This layer presents the percentage of deaths related to WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) out of the total number of deaths in each country in 2004. Those estimates are provided by the World Health Organization. This layer also provides data for each WASH-related disease.You can access the report here:http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/43840/1/9789241596435_eng.pdfFor more information and to access the raw data, visit the WHO website: http://www.who.int/quantifying_ehimpacts/publications/saferwater/en/

International virtual-water flows are calculated by multiplying, per trade commodity, the volume of trade by therespective average water footprint per ton of product in the exporting nation. Here, virtual grey water flows through trade of agricultural and industrial products for the period 1996-2005 is considered.Estimations are given in million cubic meter per year. In the table, data are also available disaggregated per types and import/export: a crop products, animal products, and industrial products.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

The national water saving of a country as a result of trade in a certain commodity is calculated as the net import volume of this commodity times the water footprint of the commodity per commodity unit in the country considered. 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. In the table, data are also disaggregated per commodities: crop products, animal products, and industrial products.Methodology and results can be found here: http://temp.waterfootprint.org/Reports/Report50-NationalWaterFootprints-Vol1.pdf For more information, visit the Water Footprint Network: http://temp.waterfootprint.org/?page=files/WaterStat
