Understanding Global Water
Water consumption measures freshwater usage worldwide. About 4 trillion cubic meters are consumed annually. Our water counter tracksconsumption per second, water access, and health impacts.
Also known as water usage, freshwater consumption, and water withdrawal, this metric is closely related to agriculture, sanitation, and water scarcity.
Our water data covers multiple dimensions including by sector (agriculture, industry, domestic), by region, and health statistics.
