Definition

What this measures

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, compiled by the World Bank. The resource total changes slowly; most movement in this series is population growth.

Quality and confidence
AQUASTAT resource estimates are updated rarely; the per-person value is dominated by population changes.
Ingestion rejects values outside 0 to 10,000,000 cubic metres per person per year.
62 periods with values for this geography, 1961 to 2022.
Revisions
Values reported for the latest period (2022) by each source revision ingested. Earlier rows are never deleted; the newest ingested row is shown as current.
