BetaBetaDataset
To determine where watershed conservation can help secure water for cities.
This study is part of Urban Water Blueprint which analyzes the state of water in more than 2000 watersheds and 530 cities worldwide.
Dataset consists of groundwater sources, surface water, desalination, cropland, grassland, the average distance to surface diversion sources, per cent of water from the inter-basin transfer, sediment yield, phosphorous yield, forest, barren land and withdrawal to the available ratio for surface sources. Estimates of conservation strategies: land protection, reforestation, riparian restoration, agricultural best management practices, and forest fuel reduction.
