World Resources Institute

WRI works to solve six great, global challenges that must be addressed this decade: water, forests, climate, energy, food, cities and transport. We have active projects in more than 50 countries, as well as institutional offices in the United States, China, India, Indonesia and Brazil.

      Competition for and depletion of water in major agricultural areas. Proportion of crop production in areas facing different levels of water stress. Baseline water stress (Gassert et al. 2013) is a measure of demand and supply for water in a given area, and is calculated as the ratio of local water withdrawal over available water supply   Data citation: Aqueduct Global Maps 2.1 database is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution International 4.0 License.

      This dataset shows countries and river basins' average exposure to five of Aqueduct's water risk indicators: baseline water stress, interannual variability, seasonal variability, flood occurrence, and drought severity. Risk exposure scores are available for every country (except Greenland and Antarctica), the 100 most populous river basins, and the 100 largest river basins by area. Scores are also available for all industrial, agricultural, and domestic users' average exposure to each indicator in each country and river basin. Citation: Gassert, F., P. Reig, T. Luo, and A.
