Step 1. 

Choose five nations (including the United States) from the enormous database by clicking the corresponding boxes. For "select variables", choose these three:

1. Under "Water Resources" choose "Total Renewable Water Resources" and within that choose only "Total Renewable Water Resources per Capita.

2. Choose "Water Use" and then "Pressure on Water Resources" . Within that subset choose only"SDG 6.4.2 Water Stress". "SDG" means the Sustainable Development Goal. This value is the percentage of total available water that is used by a nation.

3. Under "Water Use" choose "Water Withdrawal by Sector", and within that choose only "Total Water Withdrawal per Capita".

 

  Nation

Step 2. 

 

Based on your sample set, is this the case across nations, that humans in each particular nation use no more than 40% of available water resources? 

The global water shortage is a primary topic in sustainability. Given your data, is there a shortage globally? Can there be shortages locally because of an inability to distribute water? Is the shortage due to Earth's quantity of water or its quality?
