Data type

Estimated data by international organizations (Type2)
This is Korean data prepared by international organizations through estimation and modeling.
If there are no national data corresponding to UN SDGs indicators, international data are available for monitoring.
Indicator name

Change in the extent of water-related ecosystems over time
Definition

The indicator includes five categories: vegetated wetlands, rivers and estuaries, lakes, aquifers, and artificial waterbodies. For purposes of this methodology, the text refers only to these five ecosystem category terminologies.
Data collection

Level 1: 2 Sub-Indicators based on globally available data from earth observations which will be validated by countries against their own methodologies and datasets:
➀ Sub-Indicator 1 – spatial extent of water-related ecosystems
➁ Sub-Indicator 2 – water quality of lakes and artificial water bodies

Level 2: Data collected by countries through 3 Sub-Indicators:
➂ Sub-Indicator 3 – quantity of water (discharge) in rivers and estuaries
➃ Sub-Indicator 4 – water quality imported from SDG Indicator 6.3.2
➄ Sub-Indicator 5 – quantity of groundwater within aquifers
