Annual Renewable Water Supply per Person by River Basin
Entry ID:
WRI_annualrenewablewatersupply
Summary
Abstract:
This map shows water supply per person for individual river basins. Water
experts define areas where per capita water supply drops below 1,700 m3/year as experiencing "water stress" - a situation in which disruptive water shortages can frequently occur. In areas where annual water supplies drop below 1,000 m3 per person per year, the consequences can be more severe and lead to problems with food ...
