sentence correctness

Hi

Please tell me if this sentence is correct.
I think something is amiss about the underlined portion.

This country treats and reuses 24% of total freshwater supplies, which is above average among all the countries in this region.

Does this sound more correct?

This country treats and reuses 24% of total freshwater supplies, which is above the average in each of the countries in this region.

For the second part, say, "... " However, I find the first part confusing! Can you clarify it please?

Thank you,teechr.

The name of the country in the original sentence was changed. It read as thus:

Qatar treats and reuses 24% of total freshwater supplies, which is above average among the Gulf states.

Context: Qatar's efforts towards water conservation
