WRI Score: 5.00

Bahrain is one of the most water-stressed countries in the world. The country has made some progress however in the last two decades. According to the United Nations, the kingdom has reduced its water-stress levels by about a fifth, from withdrawing 195% of its renewable freshwater resources in 2000 to 156% in 2021. Despite that, a lot more work is still needed to be done as it is projected to be the most water-scarce nation in the world in 2040 by WRI. Bahrain has a daily per capita water consumption of about 600 liters, which is quite high.
