Water Accounting in the Jordan River Basin
Water Accounting + (WA+) is a tool that allows for the collection, analysis, summary and reporting of water related information in river basins. WA+ uses remotely sensed and other open access data to compute water flows. It was employed in the study of the water resources in the Jordan River Basin in the period from the period from 2009 to 2018.

Rapid Assessment of the Water Accounts in Urmia Lake Basin
Water Accounting + (WA+) is a tool that allows for the collection, analysis, summary and reporting of water related information in river basins. WA+ uses remotely sensed and other open access data to compute water flows. It was employed in the study of the water resources in the Lake Urmia Basin in the periods from October 2013 to September 2014 and from October 2014 to September 2015. WaPOR data was used in the computation of the accounting sheets as well as in the estimation of water productivity.

Estimating Water Consumption Through Hydrological Modelling In Mara River Basin
This research uses modelling to estimate the irrigation water abstraction in a part of the Mara River Basin. It posits that this estimation is crucial information for resource development planning and resource management. Particular attention is paid to the system's blue water use. WaPOR data is used as input for the modified version of the model presented in this study.

Standardized protocol for land and water productivity analyses using WaPOR
This GitHub repository contains a methodology guiding users to understand the different layers contained in the FAO Water Productivity Open-access portal (WaPOR) which can be used for land and water productivity analyses. It also contains python scripts which can be used to calculate land and water productivity and other performance indicators such as water consumption, beneficial fraction, equity, adequacy, reliability as well as estimating productivity gaps.
