Technical Notes "Annual internal renewable water resources refers to the average annual flow of rivers and recharge of groundwater generated from endogenous precipitation. Caution should be used when comparing different countries because these estimates are based on differing sources and dates. These annual averages also disguise large seasonal, interannual, and long-term variations. When data for annual river flows from and to other countries are not shown, the internal renewable water resources figure may include these flows. When such data are shown, they are not included in a country's total internal renewable water resources. Per capita annual internal renewable water resources data were calculated using year 2000 population estimates. Actual annual renewable water resources available for use is usually less than the sum of internal renewable resources and river flows. This is due to the fact that not all resources can be mobilized for use and that part of the flow coming from upstream countries or leaving for downstream countries might be reserved to those countries by treaty or other agreement. For example, actual water resources for Sudan include the flow of the Nile, less the amount that it is committed by treaty to deliver to Egypt at Aswan. Annual withdrawals as a percentage of water resources refer to total water withdrawals, not counting evaporative losses from storage basins, as a percentage of internal renewable water resources. Water withdrawals also include water from nonrenewable groundwater sources, river flows from other countries, and desalination plants in countries where that source is a significant part of all water withdrawals. Per capita annual withdrawals were calculated using national population data for the year of data shown. Sectoral withdrawals are classified as domestic (drinking water, homes, commercial establishments, public services [e.g., hospitals], and municipal use); industrial (some countries include water withdrawn to cool thermoelectric plants, while others do not; these can be significant amounts of total water withdrawals); and agricultural (irrigation and livestock). Totals may not add to 100 because of rounding."
