dc.descriptionThis report describes the Digital Global Map of Irrigated Areas developed for the purpose of global modelling of water use and crop production. The map depicts the percentage of each 0.5˚ by 0.5˚ cell that was equipped for irrigation in 1995. It was derived by combining information from large-scale maps with outlines of irrigated areas (one or more countries per map), FAO data on total irrigated area per country in 1995 and national data on total irrigated area per country, drainage basin or federal state. This documentation describes the dataset, the data and map sources as well as the map generation, and it discusses the data uncertainty. Publication details: Kassel World Water Series 1, Center for Environmental Systems Research, University of Kassel, Germany, 23 pp + Appendix.
