"WaPOR, remote sensing for water productivity, monitors and reports on agricultural water productivity through biophysical measures with a focus on Africa and the Near East. This information assists partner countries to improve land and water productivity in both rainfed and irrigated agriculture. WaPOR is developed and produced by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations.\n",
"\n",
"WaPOR provides a collection of datasets related to vegetation productivity and water consumption, and associated meteorological and physical conditions such as soil moisture and precipitation. These datasets can be combined with Digital Earth Africa products, services, and workflows for a range of applications including:\n",
"\n",
"* Monitoring drought conditions\n",
"* Monitoring the water use efficiency of crops\n",
"* Mapping irrigated areas\n",
"* Estimating crop water requirements\n",
"* Irrigation scheduling and budgeting\n",
"\n",
"The applications of WaPOR data go beyond water productivity and agriculture. Any application that would benefit from hydrological information and/or vegetation productivity could use WaPOR data."

"The table below covers L1 and L2 datasets. L3 datasets can be viewed in the [WaPOR maps platform](https://data.apps.fao.org/wapor/?lang=en) which is built with the same software as [Digital Earth Africa Maps](https://maps.digitalearth.africa/). L3 datasets cover several regions of interest in northern and eastern Africa. This notebook loads level 3 20m data for Egypt. It is recommended that the [WaPOR maps platform](https://data.apps.fao.org/wapor) is inspected to check the availability of level, variable, and temporal frequency combinations for your area of interest. The maps platform also shows map codes in the data description.\n",

"Mapset codes are structured as `level-variable-temporal` frequency as shown below. The temporal frequencies available are:\n",
"\n",
"* A - annual\n",
"* M - monthly\n",
"* D - dekadal (10 days)\n",
