Indicator

Indicator 6.4.2: Proportion of water withdrawal from the total water sources available (Water Stress Index)
Definition and concepts

Proportion of total volume of water withdrawal by economy sectors out of total resources of water.

Water withdrawal from natural water bodies for use - extracting water from surface and underground water bodies for the purpose of subsequent water consumption.

Unit of measure

Percent, %
Method of computation

Ratio between the total volume of water withdrawal by economy sectors and the total water resources *100. The denominator includes: data from the annual statistical generalization report on water use in the Republic of Moldova. The numerator is 13.2 billion m3 of water - available water resources (Dniester River, Prut River and groundwater) according to data from the State Water Cadastre.
