Grey water footprint of national production (1996-2005)

This layer presents estimation of the mean annual grey water footprint of national production for the period 1996-2005. The water footprint is a measure of human’s appropriation of freshwater resources. The grey water footprint is the volume of freshwater required to assimilate the load of pollutants based on existing ambient water quality standards. Estimations are given in million cubic meter (MCM) per year. Disaggregated data per sectors are available in the table: agricultural production, industrial production and domestic water. The main report on the subject is available here: http://temp.waterfootprint.org/Reports/Report50-NationalWaterFootprints-Vol1.pdf .
