Central African Republic - Annual freshwater withdrawals
Annual freshwater withdrawals, agriculture (% of total freshwater withdrawal)
Annual freshwater withdrawals, agriculture (% of total freshwater withdrawal) in Central African Republic was 0.55 as of 2017. Its highest value over the past 30 years was 2.06 in 1987, while its lowest value was 0.55 in 2007.
Definition: Annual freshwater withdrawals refer to total water withdrawals, not counting evaporation losses from storage basins. Withdrawals also include water from desalination plants in countries where they are a significant source. Withdrawals can exceed 100 percent of total renewable resources where extraction from nonrenewable aquifers or desalination plants is considerable or where there is significant water reuse. Withdrawals for agriculture are total withdrawals for irrigation and livestock production. Data are for the most recent year available for 1987-2002.

Annual freshwater withdrawals, domestic (% of total freshwater withdrawal)
Annual freshwater withdrawals, domestic (% of total freshwater withdrawal) in Central African Republic was 82.90 as of 2017. Its highest value over the past 30 years was 82.90 in 2017, while its lowest value was 77.32 in 1987.
Definition: Annual freshwater withdrawals refer to total water withdrawals, not counting evaporation losses from storage basins. Withdrawals also include water from desalination plants in countries where they are a significant source. Withdrawals can exceed 100 percent of total renewable resources where extraction from nonrenewable aquifers or desalination plants is considerable or where there is significant water reuse. Withdrawals for domestic uses include drinking water, municipal use or supply, and use for public services, commercial establishments, and homes. Data are for the most recent year available for 1987-2002.

Annual freshwater withdrawals, industry (% of total freshwater withdrawal)
Annual freshwater withdrawals, industry (% of total freshwater withdrawal) in Central African Republic was 16.55 as of 2017. Its highest value over the past 30 years was 20.62 in 1987, while its lowest value was 16.55 in 2007.
Definition: Annual freshwater withdrawals refer to total water withdrawals, not counting evaporation losses from storage basins. Withdrawals also include water from desalination plants in countries where they are a significant source. Withdrawals can exceed 100 percent of total renewable resources where extraction from nonrenewable aquifers or desalination plants is considerable or where there is significant water reuse. Withdrawals for industry are total withdrawals for direct industrial use (including withdrawals for cooling thermoelectric plants). Data are for the most recent year available for 1987-2002.

Level of water stress: freshwater withdrawal as a proportion of available freshwater resources
Level of water stress: freshwater withdrawal as a proportion of available freshwater resources in Central African Republic was 0.336 as of 2018. Its highest value over the past 31 years was 0.336 in 2018, while its lowest value was 0.090 in 1987.
Definition: The level of water stress: freshwater withdrawal as a proportion of available freshwater resources is the ratio between total freshwater withdrawn by all major sectors and total renewable freshwater resources, after taking into account environmental water requirements. Main sectors, as defined by ISIC standards, include agriculture; forestry and fishing; manufacturing; electricity industry; and services. This indicator is also known as water withdrawal intensity.
