World Karst Aquifer Map (WHYMAP WOKAM) (WMS)

The World-wide Hydrogeological Mapping and Assessment Programme (WHYMAP) provides data and information about the earth´s major groundwater resources. The World Karst Aquifer Map (WOKAM) allows a more precise global quantification of karst systems. The map will help to increase awareness of karst groundwater resources in the context of global water issues and will serve as a basis for other karst-related research questions at global scales: for example those related to climate change, biodiversity, food production, geochemical cycles and urbanisation.全球水文地质测绘与评估计划（World-wide Hydrogeological Mapping and Assessment Programme，WHYMAP）可提供地球主要地下水资源相关的数据与信息。世界喀斯特含水层地图（World Karst Aquifer Map，WOKAM）能够对喀斯特系统开展更为精准的全球量化分析。该地图既能提升全球水资源问题背景下人们对喀斯特地下水资源的认知水平，也可作为全球尺度下各类喀斯特相关研究议题的基础，例如涉及气候变化、生物多样性、粮食生产、地球化学循环以及城市化的研究议题。
