Renewable Internal Freshwater Resources: 5,661 billion cubic meters
Brazil closes our list of countries that have the most fresh water. Despite Brazil having the largest amount of freshwater resources, some regions and parts of the population still don’t have equal access to water. Also, inadequate management of water resources and increased usage contributed to poor water quality. The country relies significantly on water, generating more than 60% of its energy with hydropower plants. Brazil’s water withdrawal in 2010 was 74 830 million m³. While the country’s fresh water per capita figure in 1961 was 73,512 m³ the number dropped to 27,470 in 2014.
