Fresh Water Stress from 1995 to 2025

Summary

These two maps contrast recent (1995) and projected (2025) rates of freshwater withdrawal as a percentage of total available freshwater. The projections are based on population growth assuming unchanged rates of water consumption. The text accompanying the maps does not make clear how future levels of availability are computed, or how regional variations in the per-capita rate of water consumption are dealt with.
