متن کاملA Joint Model for Water Scarcity Evaluation
To make a real difference for our thirsty planet, we establish the water demand-supply model and the Advanced Water Poverty Index (AWPI).

On the demand side, we fit agricultural and industrial water needs by the Grey Verhulst prediction model, then we consider domestic needs thro...
متن کاملIrrigation efficiency and water-policy implications for river basin resilience

متن کاملA global water scarcity assessment under Shared Socio-economic Pathways – Part 2: Water availability and scarcity
A global water scarcity assessment for the 21st century was conducted under the latest socio-economic scenario for global change studies, namely Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs). SSPs depict five global situations with substantially different socio-economic conditions. In the accompanying paper, a water use scenario compatible with the SSPs was developed. This scenario considers not only qu...
