About
This dataset offers valuable insights into global water consumption trends from 2000 to 2024. It focuses on water usage across agriculture, industrial, and household sectors in various countries. The data helps in analysing water scarcity levels, groundwater depletion rates, and the impact of rainfall on water availability. It is a cleaned dataset where duplicate entries for the same country-year combination have been removed, and numeric values aggregated by taking the mean for consistency.
Columns
- Country: Name of the country.
- Year: Year of data collection.
- Total Water Consumption (Billion Cubic Meters): Total volume of water consumed in the country in a given year.
- Per Capita Water Use (Liters per Day): Average water usage per person per day in litres.
- Water Scarcity Level: The level of water scarcity (e.g., Low, Moderate, High).
- Agricultural Water Use (%): Percentage of total water consumption used for agricultural purposes.
- Industrial Water Use (%): Percentage of total water consumption used for industrial purposes.
- Household Water Use (%): Percentage of total water consumption used for household purposes.
- Rainfall Impact (Annual Precipitation in mm): Annual precipitation in millimetres and its impact on water availability.
- Groundwater Depletion Rate (%): The rate at which groundwater is being depleted.
Distribution
The dataset is available in CSV format (
cleaned_global_water_consumption.csv). It has a file size of 46.21 kB and contains 10 columns. There are 500 valid records or rows within the dataset for each column.Usage
