In January 2013, the World Resources Institute launched the centerpiece of Aqueduct after a three-year development effort: the [http://www.wri.org/our-work/project/aqueduct/aqueduct-atlas Water Risk Atlas]. The Atlas uses a robust, peer reviewed [http://www.wri.org/our-work/project/aqueduct/methodology methodology] and the best-available data to create high-resolution, customizable global maps of water risk.

===Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas===
The Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas is an online mapping tool that combines 12 water risk indicators to create overall maps of where and how water risks may be prevalent.

* PDF: [http://www.wri.org/publication/aqueduct-global-maps-20 Aqueduct Global Maps 2.0]: WRI developed the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas, including 12 global indicators and maps of water-related risk. Companies can use this information to prioritize actions; investors can utilize it to leverage financial interest to improve water management; and governments can use the data to engage with the private sector to seek solutions for more equitable and sustainable water governance.
