Water resources management

6.5.1 Degree of integrated water resources management implementation (0-100) in Djibouti, score by dimension ()

6.5.2 Proportion of transboundary basin area with an operational arrangement for water cooperation (%) in Djibouti, by component ()

The “overall” SDG 6.5.2 indicator value represents the values for river and lake basins and transboundary aquifers combined. The SDG 6.5.2 indicator value can also be disaggregated into values for transboundary river and lake basins, and transboundary aquifers.

Water-related ecosystems

6.6.1 Spatial extent of water-related ecosystems in Djibouti, progress over time, from earth observation data

Data on the spatial extent of water-related ecosystems includes all open water bodies, such as lakes, rivers, estuaries and artificial water bodies. For the purpose of SDG 6 monitoring, the period 2001-2005 has been defined as the baseline, from which change are measured.

Spatial extent of lakes, rivers, estuaries and artificial water bodies

Baseline (2001-2005): 159 km²
Latest five year period (2011-2015): 151 km²
Change in extent compared to baseline: loss of 5%

6.6.1 Spatial extent of wetlands, rivers and open water bodies in Djibouti, from national data (2016)

6.6.1 Water quantity in rivers, open water bodies and aquifers in Djibouti, from national data (2016)
