Answer:

Africa is the area which has the lowest amount of naturally available freshwater per capita.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some parts of Africa have about 3879 m^3 of naturally available freshwater per capita. That is 12% of what is naturally available in South America, for instance.

Answer:

The Middle East has the lowest amount of naturally available freshwater per capita.

Explanation:

  • The unavailability of freshwater resources and the terrain characterized by the dominant existence of wide stretched deserts leave the Middle East with the lowest amount of water per capita.
  • Moreover, very little vegetation and featureless landforms bring down the rate of precipitation adding more to the scarcity of water.
  • In order to tackle the scarcity of water, the countries of the 'Middle East have developed technologies' that help to turn saline ocean water into usable soft water.
