Water quality data available from GEMStat can be used for status evaluation, research purposes or within the scope of education and training initiatives.
For data sets not available online through the Data Portal or Statistics Portal, requests made by non-commercial and non-private persons (i.e. those with no affiliation) will be filled at no cost, but will depend on data availability, UN Environment GEMS/Water Programme workload, and the nature of the data set/product being requested.
Requests will be queued with priority given to those related to joint activities with UN Environment Programme areas and other UN agencies. Data sets with a “Restricted” access rating will not be distributed; however, information about such data sets, including the distributor’s name and summary statistics on country level, can be sent to eligible institutions upon request.
