Provision of the population with high-quality drinking water in Russia
thousand persons
From 2019 to 2023, millions of Russians had access to safe water; the statistics break this indicator down into total population and those using centralized water supply. The list contains seven rows, highlighting total population and the number of people provided with quality water from centralized systems. Comparing these values allows for assessing actual population coverage of water supply services and tracking changes over five years. All data are in thousands of people

How to read this table
The differences between rows highlight the gap between the total population and those receiving water from centralized networks. Comparing the total population with the number of people provided with water shows the proportion of citizens still lacking stable access to a quality source. These indicators allow for assessing the state of water supply infrastructure nationwide over the available period
What is visible in these numbers
The largest value belongs to “total resident population” — 146,463 thousand persons; the smallest is “population in settlements where water has not been tested — from centralized water supply systems” at 1,418 thousand persons. The gap between them is 103-fold.
