Assessing the Sustainability of Groundwater Resources Using Water Exploitation and Green Water Scarcity Indicators
Sustainability of groundwater resources means ensuring the permanent availability of essential groundwater services for a long-time. This research was conducted to investigate the sustainability of groundwater resources in the prohibited plain of Behshahr- Bandar-e-Gaz by using water expoliation and green water scarcity indices. Initially, the green water deficit index was calculated based on t...
متن کاملGlobal 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 کاملAssessing regional virtual water flows and water footprints in the Yellow River Basin, China: A consumption based approach
The Yellow River, the second longest river in China, is facing increasing water scarcity due to rising water consumption of a fast growing economy and an increasingly urbanized population with water-intensive consumption patterns. The Yellow River Basin (YRB) is divided into three regions: the upper, middle and lower reaches; each with very different characteristics in terms of water resources,...
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). First, we develop a dynamic demand-supply model to measure the ability of a region to satisfy its water consumption. On the demand side, we fit agricultural and industrial water needs by the Grey Verhulst prediction model, then we consider domestic needs thro...
متن کاملWater access, water scarcity, and climate change.
This article investigates the approaches of the various discourses operating in the water sector and how they address the issues of scarcity and equitable access under projected climate change impacts. Little synergy exists between the different approaches dealing with these issues. Whilst being a sustainable development and water resources management issue, a holistic view of access, scarcity ...
