Djibouti

Water resources Djibouti has an arid to semi-arid climate with an average annual rainfall of 220 mm (AMCOW 2018), and ranging between 80 and 340 mm from the northeast to the north of the country (FAO 2016). The country’s aqueduct water stress for all sectors measured in 2010 was 0.12 and is projected to increase to 0.28 by 2040 (Luo et al. 2015). A score of 0.28 indicates that there is low competition among water users relative to available surface-water resources. The level of water stress for industrial water use was 1.17 in 2010, indicating low to medium water stress among users. The agriculture sector contribution contributed only 2.2 per cent to GDP in 2017 and employed 29.8 per cent of the population (World Bank 2018).
