Renewable internal freshwater resources per capita (cubic meters)

This metric quantifies the availability of fresh water within a nation, taking into account both internal river flows and groundwater replenished by precipitation. By assessing this resource on a per-person basis using population estimates from the World Bank, it provides critical insights into the sustainability and accessibility of water resources for the populace. This measurement is essential for understanding a country's capacity to meet its water demands, especially in the context of agricultural, industrial, and domestic use. Furthermore, it can serve as a valuable indicator of environmental health, resource management, and potential challenges related to water scarcity, particularly in regions experiencing rapid population growth or climate variability.
