Page 163 - CIWA Water Data Revolution Overview Report

The water availability per capita is estimated
is presented at monthly and annual
timescales from 2009 to 2018.

The annual total per capita water availability
is presented to the right side as horizontal
bar plots. The monthly average per capita
water availability is presented on the top as
the vertical bar plots.

Water Availability for further use (MCM)
The water available for further water resources
development highlights the water scarcity in the
basin. The estimates presented in the figure
quantifies the amount of water available after
meeting all the basin demands of nature via
landscape evapotranspiration, rainfed agriculture,
domestic and industrial demand and irrigated water
use. This is the volume of water that can be used for
planning any basin developmental activities such as
additional diversion for domestic and industrial
water use, additional irrigation development etc.

Managed Evapotranspiration Fraction
The ET processes in a basin that could be manipulated by land use, cultivation practices and
water withdrawals. This allows for more effective water management and conservation
strategies in agricultural and land management practices

Managed ET Fraction =

Agricultural Evapotranspiration Fraction
The part of ET that is attributed to agriculture production.
The Agricultural ET Fraction highlights the proportion of
evapotranspiration specifically from agricultural
activities, emphasizing the water consumption in
farming. This helps in planning sustainable water
management strategies.

Agricultural ET Fraction =

Irrigated Evapotranspiration Fraction
The irrigated ET fraction describes the portion of
agricultural ET that is attributed to irrigated agriculture,
emphasizing the importance of irrigation in water use for crop production. By calculating this
