Service Description: The World-wide Hydrogeological Mapping and Assessment Programme (WHYMAP) provides data and information about the earth´s major groundwater resources. The Map of Global Groundwater Vulnerability to Floods and Droughts indicates the vulnerability level of groundwater resources of the earth. It presents the intrinsic vulnerability of groundwater systems and the sensitivity or resistance of those systems to natural disasters.

• Coastal area mostly with aquifers highly vulnerable to tsunami hazards (0)
• Surface water (1)
  • Lake (2)
  • River (3)
  • Continuous ice sheet (4)
• Groundwater recharge (mm/a) (5)

Description: The World-wide Hydrogeological Mapping and Assessment Programme (WHYMAP) provides data and information about the Earth´s major groundwater resources. The programme compiles hydrogeological information from regional, national and global sources, and visualizes the groundwater data as printed maps, web map application and web map service. These products provide information on quantity, quality and vulnerability of the groundwater resources on Earth and help communicating groundwater related issues to water experts, decision makers and the general public.
