Data type

Estimated data by international organizations (Type2)
This is Korean data prepared by international organizations through estimation and modeling.
If there are no national data corresponding to UN SDGs indicators, international data are available for monitoring.
Indicator name

Level of water stress: freshwater withdrawal as a proportion of available freshwater resources
Definition

The ratio between total freshwater withdrawn by all major sectors and total renewable freshwater resources, after taking into account environmental flow requirements, or freshwater withdrawn as a percentage of total freshwater resources save for environmental flow, also known as water withdrawal intensity. Main sectors as defined by ISIC standards: agriculture; forestry and fishing; manufacturing; electricity industry; and services.
Data collection

Quality data are collected by the water resources ministry and national statistic office.
