Detailed Description
Global cropland water use. Country-wise agricultural crop water use in km3/yr. In India, China, and Pakistan as a result of double and triple cropping that are irrigated, the water use is dominated by irrigated croplands (blue water use). In USA, the water use is dominated by rainfed croplands (green water use). Data source: Gleick (2011).

Global Food-and-Water Security-support Analysis Data (GFSAD)
The GFSAD is a NASA funded project (2023-2028) to provide highest-resolution global cropland data and their water use that contributes towards global food-and-water security in the twenty-first century. The GFSAD products are derived through multi-sensor remote sensing data (e.g., Landsat-series, Sentinel-series, MODIS, AVHRR), secondary data, and field-plot data and aims at documenting cropland...
