6.1.1 Proportion of population using safely managed drinking water services in Chad, by service level and location (2024)
Sanitation and hygiene
6.2.1a Proportion of population using safely managed sanitation services in Chad, progress over time
6.2.1a Proportion of population using safely managed sanitation services in Chad, by service level and location (2024)
6.2.1b Proportion of population with a handwashing facility with soap and water available at home in Chad, by service level and location (2024)
Water quality and wastewater
6.3.1 Proportion of wastewater flow (safely) treated in Chad, by source (2024)
Change in 6.3.1 Proportion of wastewater flow (safely) treated > Domestic in Chad, between 2022 and 2024, compared to other countries (and areas) in Middle Africa
Domestic wastewater flow generated, delivered to treatment, and safely treated in Chad, by sanitation facility (2024)
Of the total domestic wastewater flow generated in Chad, 2.2% comes from sewers, 3.4% from septic tanks and 94% from other sanitation facilities. The below chart shows how much of the generated flow from each sanitation facility type that is delivered to treatment and then safely treated.
6.3.2 Proportion of bodies of water with good ambient water quality in Chad (2020-2023), compared to other countries (and areas) in the region
Water use and scarcity
Water resources and withdrawal in Chad, total and per capita
Long-term average annual precipitation in depth: 322 (mm/year) (2020)
Renewable water resources: 3,067 m3 per capita (2017)
Water withdrawal: 82 m3 per capita (2005)
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 Chad, change over time, compared to other countries (and areas) in the region
6.4.1 Change in water-use efficiency over time in Chad, 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).
6.4.1 Change in water-use efficiency over time in Chad, progress over time, compared to other countries (and areas) in the region
