Global Monthly Water Scarcity: Blue Water Footprints versus Blue Water Availability
Freshwater scarcity is a growing concern, placing considerable importance on the accuracy of indicators used to characterize and map water scarcity worldwide. We improve upon past efforts by using estimates of blue water footprints (consumptive use of ground- and surface water flows) rather than water withdrawals, accounting for the flows needed to sustain critical ecological functions and by c...

متن کاملDealing with Uncertainty in Strategic
Strategic uncertainty is the disparity between what one knows, and what one needs to know in order to make a responsible decision; it permeates defense decision-making. Because of strategic uncertainty, planners must maximize the robustness against surprise in striving to achieve critical goals. This article describes the decision methodology known as “robust-satisfying” and the integration of ...
متن کاملUncertainty andMethods for Dealing with Uncertainty
In other words then, if a machine is expected to be infallible , it cannot also be intelligent. Abstract In this note we introduce a proposal to provide a mechanism to deal with uncertainty in a PROLOG environment. The intent is that such a mechanism will enable experimental and comparative research on applications which need to deal with uncertainty. Such research is needed since the variety o...
