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 the figures of the Sixth National Forestry Survey (1999-2003). Water Resources were estimated figures in 1985
except total water resouces volume.
