Liquid Best · the world’s water, measured

The world’s water,
country by country.

Where fresh water is, who can drink it safely, and what it is withdrawn for — for every one of the 160 countries of a million people or more, drawn on one map from WHO/UNICEF, FAO and World Bank figures, each shown with its source and year. Where a source publishes nothing, the page says so instead of filling the gap.

Where Earth’s water is

All of Earth's water — oceans, ice, groundwater, lakes, rivers, air — totals about 1,386 million cubic kilometres. USGS Water Science School, after Shiklomanov 1993

Oceans, seas and bays hold 96.54% of all Earth's water (1,338,000,000 km³). USGS Water Science School, after Shiklomanov 1993

Only about 2.5% of Earth's water is fresh. USGS Water Science School, after Shiklomanov 1993

Ice caps, glaciers and permanent snow hold 68.7% of all freshwater (24,064,000 km³). USGS Water Science School, after Shiklomanov 1993

Fresh groundwater is 30.1% of all freshwater (10,530,000 km³); total groundwater, including saline, is 23,400,000 km³. USGS Water Science School, after Shiklomanov 1993

Freshwater lakes hold 91,000 km³ — 0.26% of all freshwater. USGS Water Science School, after Shiklomanov 1993

All the world's rivers hold about 2,120 km³ at any moment — 0.006% of freshwater and 0.0002% of all water. USGS Water Science School, after Shiklomanov 1993

A river’s volume is a stock at one moment, not a flow: rivers refill all the time, which is why the next note matters more than this one.

The cycle that refills it

Almost 110,000 km³ of precipitation falls on land each year. FAO AQUASTAT, year not stated

Of rain and snow on land, about 56% is evapotranspired by forests and natural landscapes and 5% by rain-fed agriculture. FAO AQUASTAT, year not stated

The remaining 39% — about 43,000 km³ a year — becomes river runoff and aquifer recharge: the world's renewable freshwater resources. FAO AQUASTAT, year not stated

About 90% of the moisture in the atmosphere comes from evaporation from oceans, seas, lakes and rivers; the rest is mostly plant transpiration. USGS Water Science School, 2019 page; no data year given

Only about 10% of the water evaporated from the oceans is carried over land and falls there as precipitation. USGS Water Science School, 2019 page; no data year given

That renewable flow, country by country, is what the map’s “Renewable per person” view divides up.

Who can drink it

Improved sources are those that by design can deliver safe water: piped water, boreholes or tubewells, protected dug wells, protected springs, rainwater, and packaged or delivered water. WHO/UNICEF JMP 2025 report

Drinking water from an improved source that is on the premises, available when needed and free from contamination. WHO

In 2024, 74% of people used safely managed drinking water — 60% in rural areas and 83% in cities. WHO/UNICEF JMP 2025 report, 2024

In 2024, 2.1 billion people — 1 in 4 — still lacked safely managed drinking water. WHO/UNICEF JMP 2025 report, 2024

In 2024, 696 million people lacked even a basic drinking water service (an improved source within a 30-minute round trip). WHO/UNICEF JMP 2025 report, 2024

People drinking straight from rivers, lakes, ponds and canals fell from 247 million in 2000 to 106 million in 2024. WHO/UNICEF JMP 2025 report, 2000–2024

From 2015 to 2024, 793 million people gained piped water — six times as many as gained other improved sources (132 million). WHO/UNICEF JMP 2025 report, 2015–2024

Bottled and packaged water is the main drinking source for a growing share in some countries: in Thailand it rose from 5% to more than 80% between 1990 and 2023. WHO/UNICEF JMP 2025 report, 1990–2023

Bottled water — the subject of the fiction further down — has no world total: JMP counts packaged water country by country, survey by survey, and each dossier shows its own surveys.

What it is used for, and the pressure it is under

AQUASTAT splits withdrawals three ways: agricultural (irrigation, livestock and aquaculture), municipal (including domestic) and industrial. FAO AQUASTAT

In 2023 agriculture took 72% of global freshwater withdrawals, industry 15% and services 13%. FAO, SDG 6.4.2, 2023

Over the last century water withdrawals grew 7.3-fold while world population grew 4.4-fold. FAO AQUASTAT, 1900–2010

Freshwater withdrawn by all major sectors, as a share of total renewable freshwater once environmental flow requirements are set aside. FAO, SDG 6.4.2

Global water stress — withdrawals as a share of renewable freshwater after environmental flows — stood at 17.6% in 2023. FAO, SDG 6.4.2, 2023

The map’s country splits use AQUASTAT’s own three categories (agricultural, industrial, municipal), each at its country’s latest year. They are not the same categories or years as the world split above, so the two are never drawn on one chart. No source we verified defines stress bands such as “high” or “critical”, so the map uses numbers only.

Groundwater, the water you do not see

Groundwater is 99% of all the liquid freshwater on Earth. UNESCO WWDR 2022, 2022 report

One in every four litres of water that people use comes from underground. UNESCO WWDR 2022, 2022 report

Half of the water drawn for household purposes is groundwater, and it is what most rural households beyond the reach of piped supply drink. UNESCO WWDR 2022, 2022 report

Around 25% of all irrigation water is pumped from underground. UNESCO WWDR 2022, 2022 report

Of all the groundwater taken from aquifers worldwide, 69% goes to agriculture. UNESCO WWDR 2022, 2022 report

NASA GRACE satellite data show 8 of the world's 37 largest aquifer systems were overstressed — consumed faster than they refill — in 2003–2013. Richey et al. 2015, 2003–2013

Counting ice, fresh groundwater is under a third of all fresh water; counting only liquid water it is almost all of it — both are true, and the difference is the ice. The map’s aquifer layer draws the 426 transboundary aquifers of IGRAC’s 2025 edition. A country with no mapped aquifer system still has groundwater.

Water that crosses borders

By the count in the UN World Water Development Report 2023, 153 countries share waters across borders: 592 aquifer systems, and 286 basins of rivers and lakes. UNESCO WWDR 2023, 2023 report

Oregon State University's register counts 310 international river basins (2021). UN SDG 6.5.2 metadata, 2021

Just 43 of the 153 countries that share rivers, lakes or aquifers across a border have operational arrangements for cooperation covering more than 90% of their shared basin area. UN SDG Report 2025, 2023 reporting

Registers count differently, so every count names its inventory. On this map, GRDC’s 520 major river basins include 253 shared by two or more countries (GRDC, 2020).

Ice, salt and waste

Between September 2022 and August 2023 glaciers lost more than 600 gigatonnes of water, the largest loss in the 50-year observation record. WMO, Sept 2022–Aug 2023, preliminary

Between 26% and 41% of the ice held in mountain glaciers could be gone by 2100, UNESCO's 2025 report projects, the range spanning warming of 1.5 °C to 4 °C. UNESCO WWDR 2025, projection to 2100

Jones et al. (2019) count 15,906 operating desalination plants making about 95 million m³ of fresh water a day, 48% of it in the Middle East and North Africa. Jones et al. 2019, published 2019; data year not stated

Desalination plants discharge about 142 million m³ of hypersaline brine a day — more than the fresh water they make. Jones et al. 2019, published 2019

In 2024 only 56% of the world's domestic wastewater (332 billion m³ generated) was safely treated. UN SDG Report 2025, 2024

The desalination marks on the map are the 102 plants Wikidata records, in 25 countries of a million people or more — items, not an inventory. National volumes, where FAO has them, are in each dossier.

One source per question

Drinking water comes from the WHO/UNICEF JMP 2025 estimates. Water resources, withdrawals, stress and rainfall come from FAO AQUASTAT, read from its live database with FAO’s imputed values removed. The World Bank supplies only what neither has: hydropower’s share of electricity and deaths from unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene in 2019. Two sources are never shown side by side for the same thing.

Every figure has a year, and the years differ

A figure is shown with the year its source gives it. Long-term averages say so: ‘long-term average (FAO estimate, 2018)’. A per-person figure shows the year of the volume behind it and the year of the population it was divided by, as FAO calculated it. The page never divides one source’s figure by another source’s population.

Blank means blank

Where a source publishes nothing, the country is hatched and the dossier says ‘No figure published by’ that source. A blank is never drawn as zero; a 0 on this page is a published zero. Taiwan, Kosovo and Hong Kong are largely absent from these UN-system datasets, and the map shows that absence rather than filling it from a model. The dossiers name 1,273 gaps across the 160 countries and fill none.

What láb.com computed, and nothing else

JMP’s ‘basic’ rung, as at least basic minus safely managed, where JMP publishes both; and areas and lengths measured on published outlines — how much of a country lies in a river basin or over a transboundary aquifer, how far a drawn river runs through it. Nothing is estimated, interpolated or totalled across sources. Where AQUASTAT’s fresh surface and groundwater withdrawals do not add up to its total withdrawal, the dossier shows each as published and never relates the pair to the total.

The drawing

Country outlines are Natural Earth 1:50m, public domain, simplified with shared borders. The projection is Equal Earth (Šavrič, Patterson and Jenny, 2018): every country keeps its true share of the map’s area, which a map that asks you to compare colours needs. Natural Earth’s borders are a depiction, not a position on any dispute. Five outlines it draws separately (Somaliland, Northern Cyprus, the Siachen Glacier and two Australian external territories) carry no statistics rather than a copy of a neighbour’s. Countries too small to see are drawn as small circles; a hollow circle means no figure.

No ranking

Colours group values into fixed, round-number classes, the same for every country and stable from one rebuild to the next. The table sorts by any column, but nothing on this page prints a rank, and no colour means good or bad.

The layers are three kinds of thing

Measured from published maps: the 50 longest rivers and 50 largest lakes as Natural Earth draws them (their lengths and areas are of the drawing, not surveys), GRDC’s river basins, IGRAC’s transboundary aquifers and Global Dam Watch’s reservoirs. Harvested from Wikidata: 1,120 groundwater features in 100 countries — aquifers, reservoirs, geysers, hot and karst springs, oases and qanats, one mark per item, each linked to it — plus desalination plants, transfer schemes and historic aqueducts; they crowd where encyclopedia editors live, not where the water is, so the layer is a map of attention as much as of water. Curated: 327 bottled-water sources in 85 countries, a shortlist chosen by láb.com with the tier each entry survived printed beside it — there is no dataset of famous water, so somebody decided, and the page says who. Nothing in these layers is a discharge or a volume that its source does not carry; inventing those is what the fiction further down is for.

Every country

Every country, one row each.

All 160 countries of a million people or more, and 66 smaller countries and territories with at least one figure: every figure the map colours, with its year. Select a name for its dossier.

Every figure the map colours, for 226 countries and territories (160 of them with a population of 1 million or more, marked ●). Drinking water: WHO/UNICEF JMP 2025 estimates. Water stress, renewable water, withdrawals, rain and main sources: FAO AQUASTAT. Hydropower and deaths from unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene: World Bank WDI. Every cell shows its own year; resources and rainfall are long-term averages. A blank figure is never filled, and sorting lists blanks last. The full dossiers need JavaScript.

Below this line · a design fiction

Liquid.
Best.

Liquid Best is a design fiction. There is no company, no spring and nothing for sale — what is real is the artwork: can editions and glass bottles, each with its accent, its flavour line and its story, carried over whole and kept here as a codex. From here to the foot of the page every figure describes the design, not a drink, and nothing below borrows the authority of the data above.

The fiction · the cans

Every can in the codex.

Tap one to read it in the viewer.

The fiction · glass

Bottles, blown to order.

A shortlist, not a basket — it keeps itself in this browser and nothing is for sale. Shortlist: 0 editions

The fiction · the full shelf

Every render, on one plate.

Every edition in the run — the cans, then the glass bottles. Each one opens its own full-size render. Several of the bottles are a can edition re-issued in glass; where the pairing is certain the cell names the can it comes from. The count below is worked out from the editions themselves, not typed here.

The renders are 8.5 MB and travel as their own archive (liquid-images.zip), the same arrangement the estate uses for jewellery photography and Laband’s music. Without it each cell draws its edition’s accent and says the render is not installed, rather than showing a broken frame.

The fiction · the brand’s springs

Three springs, invented for a label.

01

Glacial springs

Meltwater filtered through centuries of rock, drawn where it surfaces — cold, low-mineral, and untouched between the spring and the can.

02

Volcanic aquifers

Rain that fell generations ago, pressed through basalt into deep, protected chambers — naturally mineralised, naturally still.

03

Nothing added

Still or sparkling is the only choice made after the source. No additives, no flavourings, no exceptions — the editions differ on the outside only.

Real springs, aquifers and rivers are on the water map at the top of this page.

The fiction · the spec sheet — designed, not measured

What the label would say.

Read this first. Every figure below was written by a designer, not returned by a laboratory. No water was drawn, bottled or tested; there is no batch, no assay and no certificate. These are the numbers the fictional brand would print on its can, set the way a real spec sheet is set because that is the design problem — and labelled here so nobody mistakes the typography for evidence.

What is deliberately not here. The original page carried an ISO 17025 accreditation, a PFAS figure in parts per trillion, a twelve-stage purity protocol, non-detect results across four hundred parameters, carbon-negative logistics and conservation partnerships. Every one of those named an authority, a measurement or an obligation that does not exist, and none of them survived the rebuild. A spec sheet for an imaginary drink can be beautiful; it cannot borrow a laboratory’s voice. The only figures on this page that are measurements rather than design are in the water map at the top, and they describe countries, rivers and aquifers, not this.

About this page

A measured atlas and a fiction, kept apart.

The top of this page is a world water map built from WHO/UNICEF, FAO, World Bank, IGRAC, GRDC and Global Dam Watch data, adapted by láb.com and endorsed by none of them. The rest is Liquid Best: the liquid.best visionary editions, brought home to láb.com and rebuilt on the house system in both editions — the cans, the glass bottles, the viewer, the contact sheet and a shortlist that keeps itself in your browser. What did not come with them: the checkout, the shipping terms and the laboratory claims. None of those had anything behind them, and a fiction is better company when it says so.
