a) Figures on land resources in the table were obtained from surveys in previous years. The figures are subject to further verification. Figures on area of cultivated land were taken from the 1996's agricultural census. The area of grassland was the figure of 1991's survey. Figures on area of afforested land and forest resources were taken from the Third Forest Census (1994-1998). Water Resources were the estimated figures in 1985.
b) Total amount of water resources is equal to surface water plus ground water and minus the repeat-calculated part between them.
