6.3.2 Level 1 Proportion of bodies of water with good ambient water quality in Chile (2023), compared to other countries (and areas) in the region
Water use and scarcity
Water resources and withdrawal in Chile, total and per capita
Long-term average annual precipitation in depth: 1,522 (mm/year) (2020)
Renewable water resources: 51,127 m3 per capita (2017)
Water withdrawal: 2,148 m3 per capita (2006)
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 Chile, change over time, compared to other countries (and areas) in the region
6.4.1 Change in water-use efficiency over time in Chile, 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).
