6.3.1 Proportion of wastewater flow (safely) treated > Domestic in Seychelles (2022), compared to other countries (and areas) in the region
6.3.1 Proportion of wastewater flow (safely) treated in Seychelles, by source (2022)
6.3.2 Level 1 Proportion of bodies of water with good ambient water quality in Seychelles (2020-2023), compared to other countries (and areas) in the region
Water use and scarcity
Water resources and withdrawal in Seychelles, total and per capita
Long-term average annual precipitation in depth: 2,330 (mm/year) (2020)
Renewable water resources: m3 per capita ()
Water withdrawal: 152 m3 per capita (2005)
Environmental flow requirements: % of the renewable water resources ()
6.4.2 Level of water stress: freshwater withdrawal as a proportion of available freshwater resources in Seychelles, change over time, compared to other countries (and areas) in the region
6.4.1 Change in water-use efficiency over time in Seychelles, by sector (2020)
Water-use efficiency for ‘Agriculture, forestry and fishing’ only takes into account the proportion of gross value added that comes from irrigated agriculture, since that activity is associated with water withdrawal (other activities are rain-fed).
