In mbacou/WADashboard: IWMI Water Accounting+ Visualization Dashboard

The purpose of the Agricultural Services Sheet is to:

• Assess agricultural yields for food, feed, timber and fish products
• Compute the related water productivity (kg/m³) and the gap to demonstrate loss of returns in volume or value terms
• Decide on future rainfed and irrigated cropping systems
• Identify opportunities for saving water in agriculture.

Sheet 3 is used to assess agricultural production in terms of food, feed, timber and fish products, to compute the related water productivity (kg/m3) and the gap to demonstrate loss of returns (kg, $) and in showing which geographical areas can become more efficient with water use. It can help in providing extra attention to certain rainfed and irrigated cropping systems and indicates possibilities for saving water in agriculture, with an emphasis on non- beneficial water consumption and shifts from irrigated to rainfed crops and agroforestry systems.

Sheet 3 is divided in two parts:

1. Part 1 presents water consumption in agricultural areas, and
2. Part 2, the land and water productivity.
