Environment · Bosnia and Herzegovina
Yearly data from 1992 to 2022, from the World Bank.
Bosnia and Herzegovina's renewable internal freshwater resources per capita (cubic meters) was 11,077 in 2022, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 14.52% from 9,673 in 2012 (1.36% a year on average, compounded).
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 11,077 | 2022 |
| Five years earlier | 10,354 | 2017 |
| Ten years earlier | 9,673 | 2012 |
| Highest | 11,077 | 2022 |
| Lowest | 8,383 | 1992 |
| Average since 2013 | 10,432 | 2013–2022 |
| First recorded | 8,383 | 1992 |
Over five years it is up 6.99% from 10,354 in 2017 (1.36% a year on average, compounded). Since 1992 it is up 32.13% from 8,383 in 1992 (0.93% a year on average, compounded).
In 2022, Bosnia and Herzegovina's renewable internal freshwater resources per capita (cubic meters) rose 136.91 on 2021 (from 10,940 to 11,077).
Across the 29 yearly changes before that (1993 to 2021), the average change was +88.17 and a typical year strayed about 199.75 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 708.83 in 1993 and the biggest yearly fall was 393.7 in 1996. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2013 to 2022 the straight-line trend is upward, about 137.76 a year. A straight line explains 100% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
Extending that straight line gives about 11,478 for 2025. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2020 to 2022 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 13.93, against 314.52 for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.

In 2022, Bosnia and Herzegovina had the 41st highest value of the 181 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

Renewable internal freshwater resources flows refer to internal renewable resources (internal river flows and groundwater from rainfall) in the country. Renewable internal freshwater resources per capita are calculated using the World Bank's population estimates.
Limitations: A common perception is that most of the available freshwater resources are visible (on the surfaces of lakes, reservoirs and rivers). However, this visible water represents only a tiny fraction of global freshwater resources, as most of it is stored in aquifers, with the largest stocks stored in solid form in the Antarctic and in Greenland's ice cap. The data on freshwater resources are based on estimates of runoff into rivers and recharge of groundwater. These estimates are based on different sources and refer to different years, so cross-country comparisons should be made with caution.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
