Renewable water supply refers to the amount of water that is naturally replenished in a year through precipitation. These countries have the lowest levels of renewable water supply, which means they may face challenges in meeting their water demands for agricultural, industrial, and domestic use. It’s important for these countries to implement sustainable water management practices and invest in alternative sources of water such as desalination, water reuse, and rainwater harvesting to ensure water security and resilience to climate change.
