How this figure is calculated
Internal renewable freshwater resources by region divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Internal renewable freshwater resources by region ÷ GDP (current US$)
Computed from
- Internal renewable freshwater resources by region Our World in Data
- GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
