About the Data

Renewable internal freshwater resources, total (billion cubic meters)

Long definition
Renewable internal freshwater resources flows refer to internal renewable resources (internal river flows and groundwater from rainfall) in the country.

Source
Food and Agriculture Organization, AQUASTAT data.

Renewable internal freshwater resources per capita (cubic meters)

Long definition
Renewable internal freshwater resources flows refer to internal renewable resources (internal river flows and groundwater from rainfall) in the country. Renewable internal freshwater
resources per capita are calculated using the World Bank's population estimates.

Source
Food and Agriculture Organization, AQUASTAT data.

Annual freshwater withdrawals, total (billion cubic meters)

Long definition
Annual freshwater withdrawals refer to total water withdrawals, not counting evaporation losses from storage basins. Withdrawals also include water from desalination plants in
countries where they are a significant source. Withdrawals can exceed 100 percent of total renewable resources where extraction from nonrenewable aquifers or desalination
plants is considerable or where there is significant water reuse. Withdrawals for agriculture and industry are total withdrawals for irrigation and livestock production and for direct
industrial use (including withdrawals for cooling thermoelectric plants). Withdrawals for domestic uses include drinking water, municipal use or supply, and use for public services,
commercial establishments, and homes. Data are for the most recent year available for 1987-2002.

Annual freshwater withdrawals, domestic (% of total freshwater withdrawal)

Long definition
Annual freshwater withdrawals refer to total water withdrawals, not counting evaporation losses from storage basins. Withdrawals also include water from desalination plants in
countries where they are a significant source. Withdrawals can exceed 100 percent of total renewable resources where extraction from nonrenewable aquifers or desalination

Water productivity, total (constant 2015 US$ GDP per cubic meter of total freshwater withdrawal)

Long definition
Water productivity is calculated as GDP in constant prices divided by annual total water withdrawal.

Source
Food and Agriculture Organization, AQUASTAT data, and World Bank and OECD GDP estimates.

People using at least basic drinking water services, urban (% of urban population)

Long definition
The percentage of people using at least basic water services. This indicator encompasses both people using basic water services as well as those using safely managed water
services. Basic drinking water services is defined as drinking water from an improved source, provided collection time is not more than 30 minutes for a round trip. Improved water
sources include piped water, boreholes or tubewells, protected dug wells, protected springs, and packaged or delivered water.
