Global freshwater use is estimated to expand 10% from 2000 to 2010, down from a per decade rate of about 20% between 1960 and 2000. These rates reflect population growth, economic development, and changes in water use efficiency. Projections that this trend will continue have a high degree of certainty. Contemporary water withdrawal is approximately 3,600 cubic kilometers per year globally or 25% of the continental runoff to which the majority of the population has access during the year. If dedicated instream uses for navigation, waste processing, and habitat management are considered, humans then use and regulate over 40% of renewable accessible supplies. Regional variations from differential development pressures and efficiency changes during 1960–2000 produced increases in water use of 15–32% per decade.
