Drinking water

6.1.1 Proportion of population using safely managed drinking water services in Slovakia, progress over time

6.1.1 Proportion of population using safely managed drinking water services in Slovakia, by service level and location (2022)

Sanitation and hygiene

6.2.1a Proportion of population using safely managed sanitation services in Slovakia, progress over time

6.2.1a Proportion of population using safely managed sanitation services in Slovakia, by service level and location (2022)

6.2.1b Proportion of population with a handwashing facility with soap and water available at home in Slovakia, by service level and location (2022)

Water quality and wastewater

6.3.1 Proportion of wastewater flow (safely) treated > Domestic in Slovakia (2022), compared to other countries (and areas) in the region

6.3.1 Proportion of wastewater flow (safely) treated in Slovakia, by source (2015 - 2022)

6.3.2 Level 1 Proportion of bodies of water with good ambient water quality in Slovakia (2017-2020), compared to other countries (and areas) in the region

Water use and scarcity

Water resources and withdrawal in Slovakia, total and per capita

Long-term average annual precipitation in depth: 824 (mm/year) (2020)

Renewable water resources: 9,196 m3 per capita (2017)

Water withdrawal: 98 m3 per capita (2016)

Environmental flow requirements: % of the renewable water resources ()

6.4.2 Level of water stress: freshwater withdrawal as a proportion of available freshwater resources in Slovakia, change over time, compared to other countries (and areas) in the region

6.4.1 Change in water-use efficiency over time in Slovakia, by sector (2020)

Water-use efficiency for ‘Agriculture, forestry and fishing’ only takes into account the proportion of gross value added that comes from irrigated agriculture, since that activity is associated with water withdrawal (other activities are rain-fed).
