The data reveals that several countries, including Greece, Chile, and Belgium, achieve a perfect score in urban populations using at least basic drinking water services. Countries like Portugal and the United States fall fractionally behind, while countries such as Bhutan and Peru show minor declines. With no visible year-on-year variations, these percentages remain stable over recent years, indicating a trend towards maintaining or achieving full basic water service access in urban areas.
Looking ahead, future trends to watch include the continued commitment of countries to sustain or enhance water infrastructure, especially in developing regions. Addressing climate change impacts and resource management will be vital as urban areas expand globally.
