In 2023, the percentage of Brazil's rural population using improved drinking water sources was 91.6%. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady increase in access, rising from 92.1% in 2024 to 94% in 2028. This represents an average annual increase of 0.48 percentage points. Year-on-year, improvements reflect a growth of approximately 0.5% annually.
Future trends to watch for include continued infrastructure developments enhancing rural water systems, policy interventions expanding access, and potential climate change impacts on water supply stability. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for addressing rural water accessibility challenges in Brazil.
