Fig. 1: Scatterplots of irrigated areas against irrigation water withdrawals.

From: Irrigated areas drive irrigation water withdrawals

Fig. 1

Irrigated area data are provided by the FAO-GMIA37, which reflects the extension of irrigation in 2005. Irrigation water withdrawals are retrieved from GMs (CLM45, DBHM, H08, LPJmL, MPI-HM, PCR-GLOBWB, VIC, WaterGap) and from FAO-based datasets (Aquastat, Liu et al. 19). GM data is from 2005 and FAO-based data from 2012. Each dot is a country. The abscissa is x and the ordinate y in Eq. (1) (see Methods).
