SDG Indicator 6.4.2: Level of water stress (2012)

Ratio between total freshwater withdrawn by all economic activities (based on ISIC categories) and total renewable freshwater resources, after taking into account environmental water requirements (also known as water withdrawal intensity). This indicator includes water withdrawals by all economic activities, focusing on agriculture, manufacturing, electricity, and water collection, treatment and supply.
