AQUASTAT - FAO's Information System on Water and Agriculture
The country profiles and regional overiews describe the state of the water resources, agricultural water use and management in 138 countries and 5 regions in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. They underline the particularities in each country and region and the problems met in the development of the water resources and, in particular, irrigation. They summarize the irrigation trends and perspectives for water management in agriculture as described in the literature available. The methodology used to prepare the country profiles and the regional overviews is described in the background document below.
