Synopsis (short abstract) Land cover data is vital in understanding livelihoods, food security and both exposure and sensitivity to climatic risks. It was obtained from the ESA Worldcover (2021) as a technical support to the GEF-8 Clean and Healthy Oceans Integrated Programme (IP). The overarching aim of the IP is to mitigate coastal pollution from agricultural, industrial, and municipal sources. Therefore, land cover data is crucial in understanding potential sources of pollution across the river basin.

    Urbanization data is essential in understanding livelihoods, food security, population characteristics and climatic sensitivity. Urbanization classes across the Agno river basin is obtained from the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) to support the GEF-8 Clean and Healthy Oceans Integrated Programme (IP). The overarching aim of the IP is to mitigate coastal pollution from agricultural, industrial, and municipal sources. Therefore, urbanization data is fundamental in understanding the potential pollution sources across the river basin.

    Better understanding of cropland water demand provides useful guidance for efficient irrigation practices. Cropland water demand is defined as the potential evapotranspiration, i.e., the amount of water that can be transferred to the air from land1. Potential evapotranspiration was retrieved from MODIS remote sensing imagery, and cropland extent was collected from ESA WorldCover, a land cover dataset based on Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data2,3. A bivariate map with a hexagon grid (cells of 90 square kilometers) is shown to analyze the water demand and the cropland distribution in the Kabul River Basin. The map can help policy-makers and stakeholders to gain valuable insights into the cropland water demand, aiding in effective water resource management and sustainable agriculture practices. This analysis contributes to the objectives of the Afghanistan Emergency Food Security Project.
