Water risks are an urgent global challenge. Most public health crises are already driven by water, including floods, droughts and water-borne diseases. Climate change is worsening the problem by intensifying floods and drought, shifting precipitation patterns, altering water supplies and accelerating glacial melt and sea level rise. Clean water supplies are vital for human health, industry, agriculture and energy production, making water risks a major humanitarian threat. Identifying, understanding and responding to these risks requires transparent, publicly available data.

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

渡槽3.0的最新迭代代表了我们迄今为止最强大的水风险,包括更多的颗粒状数据,更高的分辨率,新指标,改进的工具功能以及对基础水文模型的访问。

Our Aqueduct tools include:

  • 渡槽水风险地图集,它绘制和分析各个地方的当前和未来水风险;
  • 渡槽国家排名,,,,which allows decision-makers to understand and compare national and subnational water risks;
  • 渡槽食品,确定农业和粮食安全的当前和未来水风险;和
  • Aqueduct Floods,,,,which identifies coastal and riverine flood risks, and analyzes the costs and benefits of investing in flood protection.

Over the past seven years, Aqueduct tools have reached hundreds of thousands of users across the globe and informed decision-makers in and beyond the water sector. Aqueduct data and insights have been featured in major media outlets including, the Economist,,,, the Guardian,,,, 彭博商业周,,,,the New York Times andVox’s Netflix show Explained
