api_country_dynamics function

Permanent and Seasonal Surface Water Dynamics. The data show the total change in extent of permanent and seasonal surface water area, measured against a historical reference period. Change is either gain or loss shown in both percentage and km 2 units. Total change in extent of surface water area is calculated by comparing the most recent five years of data against a five year reference period (2000-2004). Analysis performed by N. Gorelick and L. Battistella in April 2020. Use this API to retrieve all data or single Country data given the parameter: adm0_code

api_country_timeseries function

Annual time-series chart (1984-2019) of permanent and seasonal surface water extent. Analysis performed by N. Gorelick and L. Battistella in April 2020. Use this API to retrieve all data or single Country data given the parameter: adm0_code

api_country_transitions function

The extent to which surface water has transitioned between different states (i.e. transitioning between permanent water, seasonal water and Land surface), represented as gain or loss and determined by comparing the most recent seasonality map to the reference seasonality map (using the 2000-2004 reference period). Analysis performed by N. Gorelick and L. Battistella in April 2020. Use this API to retrieve all data or single Country data given the parameter: adm0_code

api_country_wetlands function

The data show the total area of wetlands extent in both percentage and km 2 units. This is data is a baseline measurement and will be used to track from this baseline as and when new annual data series on wetlands are updated to the site. Analysis performed by N. Gorelick and L. Battistella in April 2020. Use this API to retrieve all data or single Country data given the parameter: adm0_code

api_prot_unprot_surfacewater_dynamics function

BIOPAMA Protection Statistics at country level. It returns a list of countries and related information. To retrieve all data or single country data given the parameter: iso3

api_prot_unprot_water_dynamics function

BIOPAMA Protection Statistics at country level. It returns a list of countries and related information. To retrieve all data or single country data given the parameter: iso3
