Notes
Many World Bank water indicators are themselves sourced from FAO AQUASTAT or the WHO/UNICEF JMP. Hydrionis records the originating publisher where the chain is known, to avoid presenting a relay as an independent confirmation.

How current it is
- Expected publication lag
- Hydrionis holds everything World Bank currently offers — it was read 4 days ago. The newest value still covers 2024, further back than the 550 days an annual value usually takes to appear. The publisher has not issued anything newer; the gap is its reporting schedule, not a Hydrionis failure.
