"Serial maps of groundwater resource and environmental geology of Asia"(at scale of 1:8 000 000), including Hydrogeological Map of Asia, Groundwater Resources Map of Asia, Geothermal Map of Asia and Groundwater Environment Background Map of Asia, has been completed based on the research of groundwater resource and environmental geology and overall analysis of mapping pattern of groundwater resource and environmental geology in recent years at home and abroad. The compilation of series maps is of great significance at present for issues over global climate change, energy crisis, resource shortage and environment deterioration and frequent geological hazards we are facing, especially under the condition that water resource safe guarantee and geological environment directly affect the sustainable development in Asia. The mapping content and method suitable for Asia has been developed in consideration of systematical concept of compiling serial maps. The serial maps reflect spatio-temporal characteristics and distribution regularities of groundwater resource and environmental geology in Asia with the simple graphic language, and with application of GIS information system. The serial maps constitute a database of groundwater resource and environmental geology in Asia so as to provide scientific basis for trans-boundary exploitation and utilization of natural resources, planning of water resource, protection of geological environment and disaster reduction.
