Household water use is generally calculated from the estimated or measured total public water supply and can either include or exclude leakage losses in the distribution system
Source-oriented approaches
The rate of change of the 'meteorological water balance', expressed in m3 ha-1 y-1 The map provides an estimate of the increase (red in the map) or decrease (blue in the map) of the volume of water required from irrigation in order to ensure that crop growth is not limited by water stress.
