Freshwater resources and their use in Russia and selected countries
This data provides information on freshwater availability per capita in Russia and other countries, as well as its distribution among domestic, industrial, and agricultural consumption. Rows are categorized by country, showing variations in water resources and usage patterns between nations. Data is presented as a cross-section without time series; units of measurement, such as cubic meters per capita or percent, are specified in the column headers. Indicators for Russia include 28868 cubic meters of resources per capita and 16 percent for domestic consumption

How to read this table
Inter-country differences allow for assessing water resource availability per capita and understanding consumption priorities across different regions. Comparing rows reveals the share of water allocated to agriculture, industry, or domestic use. This enables comparison of the environmental situation and water resource utilization levels in Russia with those of Austria, Belarus, and other countries in the list
What is visible in these numbers
Table columns: Renewable freshwater resources per capita, m3; Average annual freshwater withdrawal, billion m3; Freshwater withdrawal by sector, percent — agriculture; Freshwater withdrawal by sector, percent — industry; Freshwater withdrawal by sector, percent — municipal
Out of 125 possible values, 125 are filled (100%), meaning the table is almost entirely complete

Period and application
Data is collected for international comparison as a current snapshot, without reference to specific years. The statistics are published in the 'Russia and the World' section and cover 64 rows representing various countries. The information is intended for ecologists, water resource management specialists, and those studying the geography and natural potential of different nations
How it is calculated
Notes from the source: For Russia – data from Rosvodresursy for 2023, including information for the Donetsk People's Republic, Luhansk People's Republic, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions; for foreign countries – data from FAO (Aquastat) for 2021. Average multi-year river runoff volume according to Roshydromet data
1) По России – данные Росводресурсов за 2023 г. с учетом информации по Донецкой Народной Республике, Луганской Народной Республике, Запорожской и Херсонской областям; по зарубежным странам – данные ФАО (Aquastat) за 2021г.
2) Средний многолетний объем речного стока по данным Росгидромета.
3) На нужды орошения, сельскохозяйственного водоснабжения и обводнения пастбищ.
4) На производственные нужды, нужды прудового рыбного хозяйства, поддержания пластового давления и прочие нужды.
5) На хозяйственно-питьевые нужды.
