São Paulo, in 2015, the main reservoir fell below 4% capacity
At the height of the crisis, the city of over 21.7 million inhabitants had less
than 20 days of water supply and police had to escort water trucks to stop
looting
Bangalore
city loses over half of its drinking water to waste.
In-depth inventory of the city's lakes found that 85% had water that could
only be used for irrigation and industrial cooling
Beijing
In 2014, each of the more than 20 million inhabitants of Beijing had only
145 cubic metres (water scarcity as when people in a determined location
receive less than 1,000 cubic metres of fresh water per person a year.)
Cairo
The UN estimates critical shortages in the country by 2025
Jakarta
Less than half of the city's 10 million residents have access to piped
water.
Aquifers are not being replenished despite heavy rain because the
prevalence of concrete and asphalt means that open fields cannot
absorb rainfall.
Moscow
Official regulatory bodies admit that 35% to 60% of total drinking water
reserves in Russia do not meet sanitary standards.
One-quarter of the world's fresh water reserves are in Russia
Istanbul
The city's reservoir levels declined to less than 30 percent of capacity at the
beginning of 2014.
Mexico City
One in five get just a few hours from their taps a week and another 20%
have running water for just part of the day
London
With an average annual rainfall of about 600mm (less than the Paris average
and only about half that of New York), London draws 80% of its water from
rivers (the Thames and Lea).
The city is pushing close to capacity and is likely to have supply problems by
2025 and "serious shortages" by 2040.
London has a water waste rate of 25%.
