has a lower standard of living
I think this is the answer...
Warm air is increasing to create low pressure zone; cool air is falling, creating a high pressure region. Air pressure and climate are rising warm air. Winds cause weather that moves across high-and low-pressure areas horizontally. The faster the wind moves, the higher the pressure difference between the pressure zones.
I would venture to say that the country in South America that has the least amount of disposable water would be probably in northern Chile which is a desert ie the Atacama desert which stretches from the Pacific across to the Andes Mts while on the other hand, in southern Chile there is a temperate climate with significant rainfall and considerable disposable water.
