Key Dimensions of Water Security - LMCs

Despite the integrated monitoring program, data on water security is not easily comparable, without more. ADB has developed a system to compare the relative levels of water security across countries. Below, Household Water Security and Urban Water Security use JMP data for SDGs 6.1 and 6.2. Each country can receive a maximum score of 100. The higher the number, the greater the water security.

Household Water Security (1-20)

Economic Water Security (1-20)

Urban Water Security (1-20)

Environmental Water Security (1-20)
