Printable Maps

While global thematic layers are dynamically accessible and downloadable through the AQUAMAPS geospatial database, at users' requests static maps have been also prepared in PDF format, ready to be printed and used for presentations and publications.

Please note that the designations employed on the maps do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever or official endorsement or acceptance on the part of the FAO concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.

Beyond the global and regional maps listed below, detailed country layouts displaying the main features of water resources and agricultural water management are also available for download and accessible through the country list of the Country profiles section.

The maps are based on the data that were available in the AQUASTAT databases at the time of preparation. Therefore, for some countries, the information displayed might be out-of-date. For more recent data and time series please refer to the Country Statistics.
