5. China
Renewable Internal Freshwater Resources: 2,813 billion cubic meters
Although it is located in top 5 on our list of countries that have the most fresh water, China faces with big problems. The rapid population growth and economic development of the country contributed to water shortages and increased water pollution. The country’s water withdrawal in 2005 was 554.1 km³, with 23% being used in the industry. China now has 2,062 m³ of fresh water per capita compared to 4,225 in 1961.
