In most U.S. counties, water supply exceeds demand, with the majority living in sustainable water basins where the supply of renewable water is greater than its withdrawal. However, in some municipalities, net consumption of water is far greater than renewable freshwater available. These include Lubbock, Texas and Chandler, Arizona, where year-round water consumption exceeds renewable water supply by sevenfold. The World Resources Institute identified these cities based on average baseline water stress, which was aggregated from the sub-basin level to cities using QGIS.
