In Aqueduct , the Water Resources Institute (WRI) compiles scientific information on global water scarcity and water-related hazards, and translates this information into clear but insightful maps for decision-makers and other non-scientific users. The latest version of the web tool Aqueduct 4.0 uses novel data and is based on improved analyses. The new web tool is launched today. Background.
