Fresh surface water abstracted in 2007

This layer represents the volume of fresh surface water abstracted in 2007 in million cubic meters (MCM). Fresh surface water are in contact with the athmosphere and can be found in rivers, lakes and wetlands. Data for other years are also available in the table. Those estimates are provided by the Environment Statistics Section of the United Nation Statistics Division (UNSD). For more information, visit the Environment Statistics Section website: https://unstats.un.org/unsd/environment/default.htm. Information on the methodology can be found in the report on International Recommendations for Water Statistics: https://unstats.un.org/unsd/publication/seriesM/seriesm_91e.pdf
