  1. Title: Egypt Thematic Cultivation Aggregation Landcover

    Contributors:

    Summary: Egypt thematic cultivation aggregation landcover from The Multipurpose Africover Database for the Environmental Resources produced by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Scale of the dataset: 1:200,000 (1:100,000 Nile Delta). This dataset is a reaggregated version of the original national Africover landcover multipurpose database. It contains all cultivated areas. The land cover has been produced from visual interpretation of digitally enhanced LANDSAT TM images (Bands 4,3,2) acquired mainly in the year 1997. The land cover classes have been developed using the FAO/UNEP international standard LCCS classification system.

  13. Title: Small-Scale Irrigation and Drainage Points in Kenya, 1995

    Contributors:

    Summary: This point shapefile contains locations of existing small-scale irrigation and drainage points in Kenya. Clusters of small-scale irrigation points are especially prevalent around the shores of Lake Victoria and the base of Mount Kenya. The irrigated areas around the base of Mount Kenya depend mostly on water from the upper Tana and Ewaso Ngiro Rivers, which drain from the top of the mountain. This data was used in Map 3.12 in Nature's Benefits in Kenya: An Atlas of Ecosystems and Human Well-Being. Kenya. Ministry of Agriculture. (1995). Small-Scale Irrigation and Drainage Points in Kenya, 1995. Kenya, Ministry of Agriculture. Available at: http://purl.stanford.edu/jt676ms4525 Data set is not for use in litigation.
