How much of Afghanistan’s internal freshwater resources are withdrawn?
World Bank Data reports total annual freshwater withdrawals equal to about 43 percent of internal resources for 2022.
What the figure or term means
The indicator is a national ratio and does not show seasonal or basin-level scarcity.
Agriculture is a major water user, while household access depends on local systems and groundwater.
Withdrawal is not the same as consumption, safe drinking-water access, or sustainable yield.
Use basin and local evidence for project decisions.
How to use this information responsibly
Economic indicators describe different things: national output, prices, household deprivation, employment, public revenue, or access to services. Reading the definition and period is essential.
Economic series are revised and are not interchangeable. Growth in total GDP can coexist with falling income per person and worsening household hardship.
