Fresh water by Country 2024
Fresh water is extremely precious. It is estimated that only 2.5-2.75% of the water on the planet is fresh water and fit for consumption (typically after some sort of filtration). Most of the fresh surface water can be found in the African Great Lakes, the Baikal Lake in Russia, and the North American Great Lakes. As of 2020 (the most recent year for which data is available as of 2024), Iceland has the most renewable freshwater per capita and Brazil has the greatest volume of fresh water overall. Fresh water amounts are measured in cubic kilometers (km³) of water.
