AQUASTAT - Evaluación de recursos hídricos renovables

Reports & Research
February, 2015

Uno de los primeros productos que desarrolló AQUASTAT, en sus inicios en 1994, fue la metodología para la evaluación de recursos hídricos. Aunque ha sido muy útil, durante los 20 años que AQUASTAT ha usado esta metodología han aparecido algunos fallos y en ocasiones ha resultado ser demasiado complicada. Cada vez era más evidente que había que poner solución a algunos de los principales problemas. En consecuencia, en marzo de 2015 se implementaron algunos cambios en AQUASTAT que se resumen en este artículo. .

The pressing need for increased agricultural production in the years ahead can only be met by more efficient use of our land and water resources including more widespread and better irrigation in those regions where rainfall is inadequate. Production gains will be shortlived unless the attendant hazards of salinization, water logging and lowered fertility are kept in check by effective planning and management based on a thorough understanding of the soil conditions. Soil survey and land classification are generally accepted essential preliminaries to investment in irrigation development.
