If I were to say that the availability of per capita water is 5,600m3 does that mean meters cubed?

That's exactly what it means...

I'll get pedantic though...it should be said as "cubic metres", rather than meters cubed.

A cubic metre is a cube with all sides measuring precisely one metre in length. Such a volume filled with water at 21 deg. C will weigh exactly one tonne. So another way to look at your stated figure is to imagine a "pile" of water. It would weigh 5, 600 tonnes and fill a space with sides of ...well...whatever the cubic root of 5, 600 is...maybe 250m? on a side...

Hope this helps...

Love and Light,
