Water resources All of Burundi’s water comes from precipitation and feeds a dense network of water bodies (FAO 2016). Average rainfall is 1,274mm/year andwater availability is 1,274 m 3 /year per person (AMCOW 2018). The aqueduct water stress for all sectors measured in 2010 was 0.00 and is projected to increase to 0.30 by 2040 (Luo et al. 2015). The score of 0.30 indicates that there is low competition among water users relative to available surface-water resources.
