Synopsis (short abstract) To make the wealth of information in AQUASTAT more easily accessible to the general public, AQUASTAT has prepared a "Did you know…?" page with data and information on three topics: (i) Precipitation and renewable freshwater resources; (ii) Water withdrawal and pressure on water resources; (iii) Irrigation areas, irrigated crops, environment. In addition to key fact and figures available on that page, six infographics have been prepared.

    FAO's Aquastat programme compiles existing quantitative and qualitative information on water resources, water use and irrigation by country. This report focuses on the work done through the Aquastat surveys to collect and analyse available information on water resources for all countries in the world. It introduces the concepts and methodology applied to compute country-level water resources data, and presents and analyses the key findings at both global and regional levels. A summary table prov ides the elements of the water balance for each of the 170 countries and territories surveyed.

    One of the first products developed by AQUASTAT, since its start in 1994, has been the water resources assessment methodology. Even though very useful, during the 20 years that AQUASTAT has been using this methodology it appeared that the methodology is not without shortcomingsand is in some cases overcomplicated. It has become increasingly apparent that some of the main problems should be addressed. Therefore, in March 2015 AQUASTAT has implemented som e changes, which are described in this note.

    In order to provide a rational basis for the discussion on increasing water scarcity and the potential for irrigation expansion in Africa, AQUASTAT compiled existing information on the water resources of the African continent. Contrary to previous attempts, this survey is based essentially on country-based statistics and information contained in sector studies and master plans. Due account has been taken of the interaction of groundwater and surface water and the problem of transboundary flows.
