The share of the population with access to basic sources of drinking water.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country — the year is shown in the row. The table spans 2016 to 2024.
Top-20 · % of population
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.
