As a global database, GEMStat data is regularly requested by a wide range of users from all over the world. In the following you find background information about data requests and our users.
Which countries and parameters are most requested?
The comparison of data requests (i.e. data provided to users by the GEMS/Water Data Centre) shows that in 2023 most data requests referred to data from Europe, followed by Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean.
With respect to the type of parameters requested, in 2023 mostly chemical parameters were provided. The most requested parameter groups were inorganic compounds and nutrients.
What is the geographical and professional background of our users?
GEMStat data is requested by a wide range of countries and sectors. In 2023, most data requests came from Asia and the Pacific, followed by Europe, and North America. Most inquiries originated from academia and were made by students (including PhD students) and researchers. At regular intervals, however, we also received requests from industry and different types of organisations.
