| Footnotes: |
| a. | Totals may exceed 100 percent due to groundwater drawdowns, withdrawals from river inflows, and the operation of desalinization plants |
| b. | World and regional totals are reported by I.A. Shiklomanov. |
| c. | Freshwater fish production data refer to freshwater fish caught or cultivated for commercial, industrial, and subsistence use (catches from recreational activities are included where available). |
