Total Water Withdrawal (billion Cu Meters)

Annual quantity of freshwater withdrawn for agricultural, industrial and municipal purposes, counted in billion cubic meters. It includes renewable freshwater resources as well as potential over-abstraction of renewable groundwater or withdrawal of fossil groundwater and eventual use of desalinated water or treated wastewater. It does not include other categories of water use, such as for cooling of power plants, mining, recreation, navigation, fisheries, etc., which are sectors that are characterized by a very low net consumption rate.

HOW TO JOIN WITH METADATA

• Concepts (labels/units)
– Use the concept id total_water_withdrawal_billion_cu_meters to look up labels and units in @gapminder.metadata.concepts.
SELECT * FROM @gapminder.metadata.concepts WHERE concept = 'total_water_withdrawal_billion_cu_meters'.

• Countries and names
– Join your datapoints on geo to @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_country to get readable country/area names
(e.g., name) and membership attributes such as world_4region, income_groups.

• Regions and other group labels
– After you have a region code from the country table (e.g., world_4region),
you can join to:
· @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_world_4region on world_4region → region names/colors/shapes
· @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_world_6region on world_6region → region names
· @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_income_groups on income_groups → income group names

Example:
SELECT d.time,
c.name AS country,
d.total_water_withdrawal_billion_cu_meters AS value
FROM @gapminder.total_water_withdrawal_billion_cu_meters.total_water_withdrawal_billion_cu_meters_by_geo_time d
LEFT JOIN @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_country c ON d.geo = c.country;
