All country descriptions fact sheets are based on publicly available data. WWF will seek to improve these over time and we would appreciate any inputs
Description:
Annual average of the twelve monthly blue water scarcity values per basin, equally weighted. Blue water scarcity is defined as the ratio of blue water footprint (based on consumption rather than withdrawal) to blue water availability – where the latter is taken as natural runoff minus environmental flow. Blue water resources are surface water and ground water. 1996-2005.
