The Central Bureau of Statistics of DPRK with support from UNICEF integrated water quality testing (and other service indicators) for the first time allowing for the assessment of safely managed drinking water services. Currently, based on the latest census figures (population 24,052,231) and 2017 DPRK MICS results, it is estimated that around 19 million people […] More

The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 6.2 is achievement of universal access to a ‘safely managed’ sanitation facility and elimination of open defecation. The effort required to achieve this target is significant, as ~5.6 billion more people will need to use safely managed services, and ~1.3 billion will need to shift from open defecation to […] More

Climate and hydrology To assess the risk of low flows, large sets of climate timeseries were generated using the Weather@Home climate simulation system (W@H)28. W@H comprises an atmospheric global climate model, HadAM3P, and a regional climate model, HadRM3P, for generating dynamically downscaled projections, over the region of interest at 0.22° resolution (~25 km). W@H229 was adapted […] More
