Reading overdue·Data to 2022

Plays the chart through its history. Pauses are where a new leader takes first place.

Water from rain falling inside each country; rivers flowing in from neighbors and desalination are not counted. FAO AQUASTAT via the World Bank (CC BY 4.0). Shows the highest and lowest; the data table lists every country.

How much renewable water each country’s own rainfall gives every resident. Cold, wet, thinly populated countries have vast amounts; Gulf states have almost none and rely on desalination and groundwater.
