The data shows that Monaco, Singapore, and Macau lead with 100% of their urban populations having access to safely managed drinking water services, while Tuvalu stands at the lowest with 10.47%. Countries like the US and Australia perform well, above 97%, while developing nations like Uganda and Nigeria have significantly lower rates, just above 35%. This indicates stark contrasts between high-income and low-income countries in access to water services.
Future trends could see improvements via investments in infrastructure, international aid, and technology deployment in lower-performing countries. Additionally, climate change impacts and population growth might create further challenges in ensuring universal access to safe drinking water.
