Tree restoration is an effective way to store atmospheric carbon and mitigate climate change. However, large-scale tree-cover expansion has long been known to increase evaporation, leading to reduced local water availability and streamflow. More recent s
A country was considered water-scarce if its water availability fell below the water requirement for the specified diet, which is presently the case especially in North and East Africa and in southwestern Asia. Under climate (derived from 17 general circulation models) and population change (A2 ...
Public communication on water availability is pivotal in highlighting water conservation needs as droughts impact water resources for critical use, such as drinking water quality and accessibility. This paper presents the results of research into public communication on water availability and the implementat...
Therefore, water for irrigation is critical to the crop growth and yields. Accurately characterizing changes in IWU is conducive to formulating optimal water resource allocation policies, particularly in the context of climate change. However, due to limited data availability and model constraints, it ...
findings to the observed data. This allowed the researchers to chart the development of water scarcity, including the ratio of water use to availability (WTA) and the per capita water availability per decade, according to the research paper published in the journal Hydrology and Earth System ...
For the economic evaluation, capital costs, operating and maintenance costs, as well as environmental costs are considered, while the environmental benefits are quantified from the saving of water and the greater availability of green areas. The base system was supplemented according to the ...
𝑃𝐸𝐼𝑇𝑃PEITP are the emission per unit area of chemical oxygen demand, ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus, respectively (kg/ha); 𝑄𝑠Qs and 𝑄𝑔Qg are the surface water availability and groundwater availability, respectively; 𝜂𝑠ηs and 𝜂𝑔ηg ar...
Here an increase of unsustainable water consumption by the most privileged social groups has the potential to be more detrimental than the effect of population growth (on water consumption) or climate change (on the availability of surface water sources). Concurrently, the results of the population...

The instituted objectives of the PNRH were: to guarantee water availability for the present and future generations, rational and integrated use of water resources, and defend and prevent possible hydrological events in the country. The National Water Agency and Basic Sanitation (ANA in Portuguese) ...
