Global Water Stress & Freshwater Access Index by Country — 2024

About this data

Comprehensive dataset tracking water stress levels, freshwater availability, and drinking water access across 67 countries spanning all continents and income levels. Combines data from four authoritative sources: WRI Aqueduct 4.0 baseline water stress scores (0-5 scale), WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme safely managed drinking water percentages, FAO AQUASTAT renewable freshwater per capita and agricultural withdrawal ratios, and World Bank GDP and water productivity metrics. Covers all five water stress categories from Low to Extremely High. Ideal for environmental research, climate policy analysis, ESG scoring, and development economics.
