This dashboard is designed to provide policymakers, development practitioners, and stakeholders with a clear and comprehensive view of global public spending in the water sector and the funding and financing gaps to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs) for the sector.

The dashboard visualizes critical data, including annual spending, spending needs, spending gaps, budget execution rates, and inefficiencies, highlighting where weaknesses are most pressing in the water sector.

This tool provides a dummy version of applying the water security assessment to a particular country of interest. The assessment is performed on three different categories: Core, Supporting and Informative indicators. These indicators are selected after undergoing a selection process based on relevance, reliability, availability and accessibility. The indicators cover the four main different dimensions of water security: Endowment, Performance, Architecture and Outcomes identified by various water experts.

The Water, Peace, and Security Partnership’s (WPS) Global Early Warning Tool employs machine learning to forecast conflict over the next 12 months in Africa, the Middle East, and South and Southeast Asia. Through cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, human responses modeling and remote sensing, the Global Early Warning Tool raises awareness of the risks of water-related security threats. WPS is working on regular updates to the platform to improve its model and extend its geographic coverage.

Explore global water quality and its evolution over 20 years. This application visualizes global water quality risk at a disaggregated level for the entire world, from 1992-2010 (Quality Unknown: The Invisible Water Crisis). Use this application to create maps or download data for analysis on water quality at the country or local level.

Explore rainfall quantities and shocks over the last 100 years. See the relationship between rainfall shocks, agricultural production and the resulting impact on food security. This application draws from the World Bank flagship report Uncharted Waters: The New Economics of Water Scarcity and Variability.

This application illustrates gender gaps in employment drawing on survey results from Women in Water Utilities: Breaking Barriers report, and additional surveys collected as part of Equal Aqua platform. Utilities can use it to compare their performance to other utilities in their region and globally.

The SDG 6 Data Portal, one of the flagship products of the Initiative, brings together data on all the SDG 6 global indicators and other key social, economic and environmental parameters. Through maps, charts and tables, the portal offers tailored options for visualization and analysis of the data, including on interlinkages. As such, the portal complements the Global SDG Indicators Database and indicator-specific databases.

This innovative interactive e-book is to provide a quick introduction to how Technology and Innovation are being applied in the Blue Economy. An interactive e-book is more than a pdf or static electronic document. This e-book includes text and a wide range of interactive elements (e.g., hyperlinks, photo galleries, video galleries, interactive graphs, interactive maps, interactive data/knowledge filters, etc.) drawing upon multiple online resources.

Aqueduct’s tools map water risks such as floods, droughts, and stress, using open-source, peer reviewed data. Beyond the tools, the Aqueduct team works one-on-one with companies, governments, and research partners to help advance best practices in water resources management and enable sustainable growth in a water-constrained world.
