- Overview: This data set shows over 1,500 water intake locations from the first global survey of the water sources of over 500 large cities. The data set was created and published by Rob McDonald and The Nature Conservancy from research on water utilities and their annual reports. The locations were recorded as accurately as possible and freshwater withdrawal points were adjusted to match the underlying hydrographic river system. Some intake points serve multiple water utilities and cities. These water intake locations were identified through research on water utilities or agencies and their annual reports. For each intake location, spatial location was recorded. For freshwater intake points, they were adjusted to match the underlying hydrographic river system.1Licence not specifiedalmost 2 years ago
- The Interactive Map of Eutrophication & Hypoxia represents 762 coastal areas impacted by eutrophication and/or hypoxia. There are 479 sites identified as experiencing hypoxia, 55 sites that once experienced hypoxia but are now improving, and 228 sites that experience other symptoms of eutrophication, including algal blooms, species loss, and impacts to coral reef assemblages. These data were compiled using a literature search conducted by Dr. Robert Diaz of VIMS and WRI staff.1Licence not specifiedalmost 2 years ago
- Aqueduct 3.0 introduces an updated water risk framework and new and improved indicators. It also features different hydrological sub-basins. We introduce indicators based on a new hydrological model that now features (1) integrated water supply and demand, (2) surface water and groundwater modeling, (3) higher spatial resolution, and (4) a monthly time series that enables the provision of monthly scores for selected indicators.1Licence not specifiedalmost 2 years ago

- Aqueduct’s tools map water risks such as floods, droughts, and stress, using open-source, peer reviewed data. Beyond the tools, the Aqueduct team works one-on-one with companies, governments, and research partners to help advance best practices in water resources management and enable sustainable growth in a water-constrained world. Over the past six years, the Aqueduct tools have reached hundreds of thousands of users across the globe, and informed decision-makers in and beyond the water sector. Aqueduct data and insights have been featured in major media outlets including, the Economist, the Guardian, Bloomberg Businessweek, the New York Times and Vox’s Netflix show Explained.1Licence not specifiedalmost 2 years ago
