Agricultural Indicators, West Asia

<span style='color: rgb(14, 14, 14); font-family: '>This map shows the percentage of arable land, per 1,000ha, water withdrawal for agricultural use, and the value added to GDP by Agriculture. The specific data used in this map was collected between 2003-2007. The data is part of the AQUASTAT water and agri-environmental indicators. Agricultural water use is a serious concern especially in arid and semi-arid areas, where water is scarce and highly variable from year to year. In dry regions it is necessary to irrigate certain crops to obtain reasonable yields.</span>

本地图展示了每千公顷耕地占比、农业用水取水量以及农业对GDP的增加值。本次地图所使用的具体数据采集于2003年至2007年间，隶属于AQUASTAT水与农业环境指标数据集。农业用水是一项亟需重视的严峻问题，尤其在干旱与半干旱地区——这类区域水资源匮乏且年际波动显著，在干旱地区，为获得合理的作物产量，对特定作物进行灌溉实属必要。
