In Belarus, 351 million m3 water was supplied to households by the water supply industry, which corresponds 27 % of the total water supply at the country level. According to Belstat estimates, annual household water use in Belarus more than halved from 717 million m3 in 2001 to 351 million m3 in 2017. Despite there being no significant change in the population during this time period, the substantial decrease in demand for household water use can only be due to an increase in water efficiency. As stated in the UNECE third environmental performance review of Belarus in 2016 (UNECE, 2016b), because of increased water metering, water demand from households is expected to decline in coming years. The average Belarusian citizen used 37 m3 of water from renewable freshwater resources in 2017 compared with 72 m3 in 2001. This corresponds to approximately 107 l of freshwater percapita per day.

    In Belarus, NOT 351 mln cub.m, but 333 mln cub.m water was supplied to households by the water supply industry, which corresponds 26% of total water supply at the country level.

    351 mln cub.m is total water use by households include self sypply (SEIS C4 indicator).
