🇳🇷 Nauru

In Nauru, 18.66% of the population uses safely managed drinking water — an improved source, located on premises, available when needed, and free from contamination (2024 estimate). That leaves roughly 9,718 people without safely managed drinking water at home.

Sanitation tracks closely: 33.16% use safely managed sanitation services and 71.32% have at least a basic service (2024).

Nauru has about 847 cubic meters of renewable internal freshwater per person each year — below the ~1,000 m³ threshold widely used to define water scarcity.
