Agricultural market integration preserves future global water resources

چکیده
Traded agricultural goods redistribute water, virtually, around the world to satisfy unmet demands while limiting excess water extraction in importing regions. However, gaps remain our understanding of how alternative international trade regimes may alter demands, locally and virtually. Here, we explore global savings virtual impacts such under reference low-carbon scenarios using an integrated water-constrained human-earth system model. We find that varying market integration significantly alters regional withdrawals substantially affecting nonrenewable groundwater withdrawals. These results highlight susceptibility resources, across regions, degrees integration. Understanding evolve future can assist management resources allow for enhanced food security potential amelioration stress.

Model Integration For Assessing Future Hydroclimate Impacts On Water Resources, Agricultural Economic Sustainability And Environmental Quality
The US National Assessment of the Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change provides compelling arguments for serious consideration of actions and adaptive measures by countries around the world to better manage impacts on water resources, agricultural economic sustainability and environmental quality. National resource planning at this scale requires integrated impact analysis t...
متن کاملGlobal impacts of conversions from natural to agricultural ecosystems on water resources: Quantity versus quality
[1] Past land use changes have greatly impacted global water resources, with often opposing effects on water quantity and quality. Increases in rain-fed cropland (460%) and pastureland (560%) during the past 300 years from forest and grasslands decreased evapotranspiration and increased recharge (two orders of magnitude) and streamflow (one order of magnitude). However, increased water quantity...
متن کاملthe role of agricultural water markets in the allocation and pricing of water resources (case study: mojen water market)
water markets are instrumental in efficient allocation and pricing of scarce water by enhancing allocative and price efficiency of water use. the prerequisites for water market formation are tradable water rights independent from ownership of the land, extensive water canals, water use associations, and adequate market regulations. mojen water market has been facilitating exchange of alternativ...
متن کاملGlobal Growth Opportunities and Market Integration
We propose an exogenous measure of a country’s growth opportunities by interacting the country’s local industry mix with global price to earnings (PE) ratios. First, we find that these exogenous growth opportunities strongly predict future changes in real GDP and investment in a large panel of countries. This relation is strongest in countries that have liberalized their capital accounts, equit...
متن کاملClimate change and global water resources
By 2025, it is estimated that around 5 billion people, out of a total population of around 8 billion, will be living in countries experiencing water stress (using more than 20% of their available resources). Climate change has the potential to impose additional pressures in some regions. This paper describes an assessment of the implications of climate change for global hydrological regimes and...
