Is anywhere not facing a water shortage? Where is it "best managed" or "least bad"
They currently have the capacity to satisfy 30% of water demand using 'reclaimed water' (i.e. recycled) and 10% using desalinated. Although I don't think they actually need to fully utilise these capacities as 50-75 per cent of their water needs are met by man-made rainfall catchments.
According to the United Nations yearly availability of less than 1.700 cubic meters of water per year per capita is the lower limit [1].

Now, contamination is another question I presume.
