Field Listing :: Total renewable water resources
This entry provides the long-term average water availability for acountry in cubic kilometers of precipitation, recharged groundwater, and surface inflows from surrounding countries. The valueshave been adjusted to account for overlap resulting from surfaceflow recharge of groundwater sources. Total renewable waterresources provides the water total available to a country but doesnot include water resource totals that have been reserved forupstream or downstream countries through international agreements.Note that these values are averages and do not accurately reflectthe total available in any given year. Annual available resourcescan vary greatly due to short-term and long-term climatic andweather variations.Country

Field Listing :: Freshwater withdrawal
(domestic/industrial/agricultural)
This entry provides the annual quantity of water in cubic kilometers removed from available sources for use in any purpose. Water drawn-off is not necessarily entirely consumed and some portion may be returned for further use downstream. Domestic sector use refers to water supplied by public distribution systems. Note that some of this total may be used for small industrial and/or limited agricultural purposes. Industrial sector use is the quantity of water used by self-supplied industries not connected to a public distribution system. Agricultural sector use includes water used for irrigation and livestock watering, and does not account for agriculture directly dependent on rainfall. Included are figures for total annual water withdrawal and per capita water withdrawal. Country

Geographic overview
WorldThe surface of the earth is approximately 70.9% water and29.1% land. The former portion is divided into large water bodiestermed oceans. The World Factbook recognizes and describes fiveoceans, which are in decreasing order of size: the Pacific Ocean,Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean, and Arctic Ocean.The land portion is generally divided into several, large, discretelandmasses termed continents. Depending on the convention used, thenumber of continents can vary from five to seven. The most commonclassification recognizes seven, which are (from largest tosmallest): Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica,Europe, and Australia. Asia and Europe are sometimes lumped togetherinto a Eurasian continent resulting in six continents.Alternatively, North and South America are sometimes grouped assimply the Americas, resulting in a continent total of six (or five,if the Eurasia designation is used).North America is commonly understood to include the island ofGreenland, the isles of the Caribbean, and to extend south all theway to the Isthmus of Panama. The easternmost extent of Europe isgenerally defined as being the Ural Mountains and the Ural River; onthe southeast the Caspian Sea; and on the south the CaucasusMountains, the Black Sea, and the Mediterranean. Africa's northeastextremity is frequently delimited at the Isthmus of Suez, but forgeopolitical purposes, the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula is oftenincluded as part of Africa. Asia usually incorporates all theislands of the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The islands ofthe Pacific are often lumped with Australia into a "land mass"termed Oceania or Australasia.Although the above groupings are the most common, differentcontinental dispositions are recognized or taught in certain partsof the world, with some arrangements more heavily based on culturalspheres rather than physical geographic considerations.

Economy of the area administered by Turkish Cypriots
CyprusEconomy - overview: The Turkish Cypriot economy has roughly40% of the per capita GDP of the south, and economic growth tends tobe volatile, given the north's relative isolation, bloated publicsector, reliance on the Turkish lira, and small market size.Agriculture and services, together, employ more than half of thework force. The Turkish Cypriot economy grew around 10.6% in 2006,fueled by growth in the construction and education sectors, as wellas increased employment of Turkish Cypriots in the area undergovernment control. GDP declined about 2.0% in 2007. The TurkishCypriots are heavily dependent on transfers from the TurkishGovernment. Ankara directly finances about one-third of the "TRNC's"budget. Aid from Turkey has exceeded $400 million annually in recentyears. The Turkish Cypriot economy probably will experience a sharpslowdown in 2008-2009 due to the global financial crisis, becausethe Turkish Cypriot financial sector is dominated by mainlandTurkish banks, and because of its reliance on British and Turkishtourism, which has declined due to the recession.GDP (purchasing power parity): $1.829 billion (2007 est.)GDP - real growth rate: -2% (2007 est.)GDP - per capita: $11,700 (2007 est.)GDP - composition by sector: agriculture: 8.6%, industry: 22.5%,services: 69.1% (2006 est.)Labor force: 95,030 (2007 est.)Labor force - by occupation: agriculture: 14.5%, industry: 29%,services: 56.5% (2004)Unemployment rate: 9.4% (2005 est.)Population below poverty line: %NAInflation rate: 11.4% (2006)Budget: revenues: $2.5 billion, expenditures: $2.5 billion (2006)Agriculture - products: citrus fruit, dairy, potatoes, grapes,olives, poultry, lambIndustries: foodstuffs, textiles, clothing, ship repair, clay,gypsum, copper, furnitureIndustrial production growth rate: -0.3% (2007 est.)Electricity production: 998.9 million kWh (2005)Electricity consumption: 797.9 million kWh (2005)Exports: $68.1 million, f.o.b.

Field Listing :: School life expectancy (primary to tertiary
education)
School life expectancy (SLE) is the total number of years ofschooling (primary to tertiary) that a child can expect to receive,assuming that the probability of his or her being enrolled in schoolat any particular future age is equal to the current enrollmentratio at that age. Caution must be maintained when utilizing thisindicator in international comparisons. For example, a year or gradecompleted in one country is not necessarily the same in terms ofeducational content or quality as a year or grade completed inanother country. SLE represents the expected number of years ofschooling that will be completed, including years spent repeatingone or more grades.Country
