37 countries in the world face "extremely high" levels of water stress

Extremely high water stress means that more than 80% of the water available to the agricultural, domestic and industrial users in a country is being withdrawn annually and that the risk of water scarcity in a region is remarkably high

Baseline water stress is defined as the ratio of annual water withdrawals to total available annual renewable supply, a higher percentage, as illustrated in World Rsources Institute's map, means more water users competing for increasingly limited water supplies

19 countries around the world, according to WRI, with the most amount of water stress

Singapore for - according to WRI,  has the highest water stress ranking (5.0), a dense population and has no freshwater lakes or aquifiers and its demand for water far exceeds its naturally occurring supply
