The FOOTPRINT Tools: FOOTPRINT SUGAR
SUGAR
stands for SUrface water / GroundwAter contRibution index, and is an innovative index
which idemtifies whether water falling on a particular zone mostly contributes to
groundwater recharge (i.e. infiltrating areas) or to discharge to surface water. FOOTPRINT
SUGAR is very data-parsimonious and relies on measured data only. Information has been
compiled for the whole of Europe and is distributed in the form of national datasets on
this web site.
FOOTPRINT SUGAR has many potential applications in hydrology and in the field of risk assessment for pollutants (of agricultural or industrial origin).
