Water Pollution Indicators for the World Water Development Report II

Gridded fields of nitrogen (N) loads and flux. Mobilizable N (N loads) represent the amount of N on the land surface that is available to be transported to aquatic systems. N fluxes represent the subsequent riverine nitrogen fluxes at the basin scale (Vorosmarty et al., 2000a,b; Fekete et al., 2001), for the contemporary setting (mid-1990's) in Green et al. (2004). Downloadadble files consist of: Contemporary_N_loads.asc = Mobilizable N loads (kg N/km2/yr): Green et al. (2004) Contemporary_Total_N_flux.asc = Basin-scale Total N fluxes (kg N/km2/yr): Green et al. (2004) Contemporary_DIN_flux.asc = Dissolved inorganic N fluxes (kg N/km2/yr): Green et al. (2004)
