http://www.fao.org/nr/water/aquastat/data/query/index.html?lang=en. 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 Resources per Capita Withdrawal per Capita % Water Stress: withdrawal vs. resources) Step 2. Based…
