WRI Aqueduct Country and River Basin Rankings

Blue Raster and the World Resources Institute (WRI) created the Aqueduct Country and River Basin Rankings map, which shows water stress scores for 180 nations, the world's 100 largest river basins by area, and the 100 most populous river basins. WRI found that "18 river basins face extremely high levels of baseline water stress, meaning that more than 80 percent of the water naturally available to agricultural, domestic, and industrial users is withdrawn annually—leaving businesses, farms, and communities vulnerable to scarcity."
