Safe drinking water

Tier A· Official

Share of the population using safely managed drinking-water services — available on premises, when needed, and free from contamination.

100 = universal safe drinking water, 0 = none

Mixed reference years (2017–2024). This metric uses each country's most recent available year, so countries are not all measured in the same year — cross-country comparison is weakened. Each row shows its own reference year.

How this score is built

Population using safely managed drinking-water services — World Bank indicator SH.H2O.SMDW.ZS (WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme). Direction is higher_better; the value is a 0–100 percentage (native_rescale). Most recent year per country.
