A world map shows water resources vulnerability.

Measure of projected water stress in the year 2020; water stress is the ratio of total annual water withdrawals to total available annual renewable supply.

Water Resources Vulnerability

Areas shaded in light yellow represent regions with arid and low water use, predominantly found in parts of Australia (central regions), Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Mauritania, and Yemen. Regions with low vulnerability, less than 10 percent, are shown in light orange and are primarily located in most parts of Africa, South America, Canada, Russia, most of Asia. Areas with low-medium vulnerability, ranging from 10 to 20 percent, are depicted in orange and are scattered throughout some parts of Japan and U S A, some parts of Asia and Europe. Medium-high vulnerability areas, between 20 to 40 percent, are shown in light red and are mainly found in South Africa, China, and many more. High vulnerability regions, ranging from 40 to 80 percent, are shaded in red and are located in parts of U S A, Europe, and Asia. Areas with extremely high vulnerability, over 80 percent, are shown in dark red and include most of U S A and Asia. Some areas such as Greenland and South Pole are marked with a gray shade, indicating no data available for those regions.

Native American cultural areas by geography

Native American Culture Areas

Artic is located at the top of Canada, the west coast of Greenland and in island areas in between. California fills most of the state as well as Baja California in Mexico. Eastern Woodlands, Northeast extends from Tennessee and Missouri in the south, the Great Lakes and southeastern Canada to the North, and the entire east coast down to North Carolina. Eastern Woodlands, Southeast includes very small pockets along the U.S. southeast coast. Great Basin includes much of Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and Nevada, as well as eastern California and Oregon. Northwest coast includes island chains off Washington, coastal western Canada, and Alaska. Plains encompasses much of the center of the United States and Canada, extending from Edmonton to the north and San Antonio to the south. Plateau includes eastern Oregon and Washington, northern Idaho, and parts of southern Alberta and British Columbia. Southwest includes most of Arizona, New Mexico, southern Texas, and northern Mexico. Subarctic consists of most of northern Canada below the arctic circle.
