Countries ranked by Freshwater resources per person
The renewable fresh water from rivers and groundwater inside the country, per person per year, in cubic meters.
#1 Iceland (445,023 m³), #2 Guyana (293,317 m³), #3 Suriname (158,867 m³). The last place is Kuwait (0 m³).
How to read this number
Renewable internal freshwater resources (river flows and groundwater from rain that falls inside the country) divided by the population, in cubic meters per person.
Water flowing in from other countries is not included. With the same amount of water, a larger population gives a smaller per-person figure.
- Countries listed: 181 (of 193)
- Data years: 2021–2022 (differs by country)
- 180 countries use 2022 data
