View the data behind this chart How this ranking can mislead
A national per-capita average conceals seasonality and internal distribution entirely. Countries far above the stress threshold routinely have cities that run short, and countries far below it can have secure supply through desalination and reuse. A per-capita average conceals seasonal and regional distribution entirely. A country can be water-rich on this measure and still have cities that run short.
