Number of sources from which cities harvest water
Description
This layer presents the number of water sources (surface and non-surface) from which cities around the world harvest water. On average, cities retrieve water from 4 different sources. Note that if a city gets a small fraction of its water from surface water, there will be calculated values for this metric, but it is not particularly meaningful for a city's water risk or opportunity profile.
