(in U.S. dollars per cubic meter)
SDG Indicator 6.4.1 Water Use Efficiency tracks the value added in US dollars per volume of water used in cubic meters, by a given economic activity over time. Agriculture water-use efficiency measures the ratio of dollar value added to the volume of water used for irrigated agriculture.
MENA region countries included: Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syrian Arab Republic, Tunisia
