WaterWorld and Co$ting Nature are sophisticated spatial policy support tools that can be applied to environment and development problems worldwide. As well as the models and analytical tools, we have always provided a global spatial database so that these can be run anywhere globally at 1-square-km resolution for national scale applications and 1-hectare resolution for local applications. The tools have been popular and are put to a wide range of uses but users whose study site crosses one or more of our 10 degree or 1 degree tiles have always had to run each tile separately and then stitch the results together in the systems or in GIS, after downloading the results.
After a long period in testing, we launched a new database cut by country and by major basin meaning that any of the WaterWorld and Co$ting Nature baseline and scenario tools can now be applied quickly to any of the 287 countries and 230 major basins spanning the entire globe. To use simply choose the basin or country of your choice at the define area step.
