Technical Notes
"DefinitionDesalinated Water Production refers to the amount of water produced by the removal of salt from saline waters--usually seawater--using a variety of techniques including reverse osmosis. Most desalinated water is used for domestic purposes."
""
"Years Covered and Frequency of Update"
"AQUASTAT was developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1993; data have been available on-line since 2002.  Data on desalinated water originate from FAO country surveys conducted in various regions between 1992 and 2000.  AQUASTAT updates their website as new data become available. "
""
"Methodology"
"Adapted from Review of World Water Resources by Country in FAO's AQUASTAT Programme."
""
"AQUASTAT collects its information from a number of sources--national water resources and irrigation master plans;  national yearbooks, statistics and reports; FAO reports and project documents; international surveys; and, results from surveys made by national or international research centers. In most cases, a critical analysis of the information was necessary to ensure consistency between the different data collected for a given country. "
""
"When possible, cross-checking of information between countries was used to improve assessment in countries where information was limited.  When several sources give different or contradictory figures, preference was always given to information collected at national or sub-national level.  This preference is based on the assumption by FAO that no regional information can be more accurate than studies carried out at the country level. Unless proven to be wrong, official rather than unofficial sources were used.  In the case of shared water resources, a comparison between countries was made to ensure consistency at river-basin level. "
""
"Data Reliability"
"While AQUASTAT represents the most complete and careful compilation of water resources statistics to date, freshwater data are generally of poor quality.  Information sources are various but rarely complete.  Access to information on water resources is still sometimes restricted for reasons related to sensitivity at the regional level.  The accuracy and reliability of the information vary greatly among regions, countries, and categories of information, as does the year in which the information was gathered.  As a result, no consistency can be ensured at the regional level on the duration and dates of the period of reference.  "
