    The first version of the Digital Global Map of Irrigated Areas was published in 1999. It consisted of a raster map with a resolution of 0.5° by 0.5° containing the percentage of the area that was equipped for irrigation around 1995, the so-called irrigation density. For Version 2, updated maps of Latin America, Europe, Africa and Oceania have been published in 2002. With the update to version 3 in 2005 the map for the whole globe was generated by using the same methodology. In the present report, the update to version 4 in 2006 is presented which incorporates improvements for the continents of Africa and Europe and for parts of Latin America as well.
