While global thematic layers are dynamically accessible and downloadable through the AQUAMAPS geospatial database, at users' requests static maps have been also prepared in PDF format, ready to be printed and used for presentations and publications.

Beyond the global and regional maps listed below, detailed country layouts displaying the main features of water resources and agricultural water management are also available for download and accessible through the country list of the Country profiles section.

Please note that the maps are based on the data that were available in the AQUASTAT databases at the time of preparation. Therefore, for some countries, the information displayed might be out-of-date. For more recent data and time series please refer to the Country Statistics.
