- Values are displayed in cubic meters (m³) of fresh water
- For most countries, the World Bank estimate for the total amount of fresh water available has remained unchanged since the 1960s. This likely indicates a lack of current data and should not be interpreted as a sign that supplies of fresh water are keeping pace with consumption.
Fresh water is extremely precious. It is estimated that only 2.5-2.75% of the water on the planet is fresh water and fit for consumption (typically after some sort of filtration). Most of the fresh surface water can be found in the African Great Lakes, the Baikal Lake in Russia, and the North American Great Lakes. As of 2020 (the most recent year for which data is available as of 2024), Iceland has the most renewable freshwater per capita and Brazil has the greatest volume of fresh water overall. Fresh water amounts are measured in cubic kilometers (km³) of water.
