Summary
Abstract: Gridded field of irrigation withdrawals for 1995 (in km3 per year) at
30 minute (lattitude by longitude) resolution (Vorosmarty et al.,
2005). Country-level irrigation withdrawals per capita (World
Resources Institute, http://earthtrends.wri.org/) were multiplied by
country-level population to estimate irrigation withdrawals for each
country. Country-level irrigation withdrawals were distributed ... View entire text
