City Water Intake (TNC)

The City Water Map (CWM) contains information on the water sources for 534 cities internationally. The intake layer shown here includes information about the water intake. or diversion, for these cities, including the type of source the water is taken from. The CWM was used as part of a Science for Nature and People Partnership (SNAPP) working group on Latin America water security. It was also used as part of the Urban Water Blueprint analysis.
