NBP Coverage Map Help

The NBP coverage map displays the latest coverage information of the national biodigester program.

The Map

Color codes are applied to administrative boundaries to reflect the density of biodigesters in the area. The legend at the bottom of the map indicates the density value for each color code.

The map can be viewed at 4 different levels:

• Country level: shows the coverage information for each province and the plant localization for each districts
• Province level: shows the coverage information for each district in the selected province and the plant localization for each communes
• District level: shows the coverage information for each commune in the selected district and the plant localization for each villages
• Village level: shows the plant localization for each village in the selected commune

Furthermore, the NBP coverage can be viewed for a particular year. At the bottom of the map, select a specific year to view only plants completed during or before that year.
For example, selecting the year 2008 will show coverage for all plants completed in 2008 or before.
Selecting "All Plants" will show all current plants, completed or not.
