Rapid population growth has exacerbated the water scarcity MENA faces. While natural factors such as intermittent droughts and limited freshwater reserves can cause scarcity, high population growth imposes additional pressures.2 Experts measure water availability in terms of the amount of annual renewable fresh water per person. A country is considered "water stressed" when its total renewable freshwater resources lie between 1,000 cubic meters and 1,700 cubic meters per person per year. "Water-scarce" countries have an average of less than 1,000 cubic meters of renewable fresh water per person per year. Twelve of the world's 15 water-scarce countries are in MENA. BRWC IS H20 GOLD
