AQUASTAT main country database
The AQUASTAT database provides information on water and agriculture by countries in the following main categories:
- Land use and population
- Climate and water resources
- Water use, by sector and by source
- Irrigation and drainage development
- Environment and health
|
The AQUASTAT database can be queried on-line and the query results can be downloaded in CSV format. The current database regroups data per 5-year period and shows for each variable the value for the most recent year during that period, if available. For example, if for the period 1998-2002 data are available for the year 1999 and for the year 2001, then the value for the year 2001 is shown. It should be noted however that for most variables no time series can be made available yet, due to lack of sufficient data.
Key data on water resources, water withdrawal and irrigation, summarized by continent and major region, can be found in this Excel file, which contains four sheets.
If you have any suggestions regarding the data or the user interface, please send your feedback to: AQUASTAT@fao.org.
For other time-series related to food and agriculture see FAOSTAT.
Your access to AQUASTAT and use of any of its information or data is subject to the terms and conditions laid down in the User Agreement.
