Precipitation-based assessments show a lengthening of tropical dry seasons under climate change, without considering simultaneous changes in ecosystem water demand. Here, we compare changes in tropical dry season length and timing when dry season is defined as the period when precipitation is less than...
Besides establishing the monetary value of time cost, economic analysis may also investigate which impacts this cost has on household behaviors and demand patterns. Household time is a scarce resource, and time spent procuring water has competing uses such as market work, leisure, or other household...
According to the United Nations World Water Development Report 2018, Nature-based Solutions for Water, the global demand for water resources is increasing by 1% per year. Currently, approximately 3.6 billion people live in water-deficient areas, and the number of people experiencing water ...
Scientific studies tend to explain increasing water demand as a consequence of the expansion of urbanized areas alongside population growth4. Climate change, in most cases, is considered the force that jeopardizes the availability of freshwater resources by altering the spatiotemporal characteristics of ...

Town of Cary, North Carolina uses SAS Analytics to analyze data from wireless water meters, assess demand, detect problems and engage customers.
Water demand is projected to grow in the future and climate change is expected to reduce supply. To adapt, water managers need robust estimates of future regional water supply to support management decisions. To address this need, we estimate future streamflow in seven water resource regions in ...
Like most Western states, New Mexico's water law is based on the prior appropriation doctrine. This doctrine gives preference to those with the oldest water rights in times of shortages. If there is a shortage, the senior water rights holders can demand that more junior water rights holders ...
Moreover, international accounting systems commonly attribute environmental impacts associated with imported foods to producing countries rather than the countries in which they are consumed, thereby displacing accountability away from the populations responsible for changing demand (Dario et al., 2014; de ...
frogs and turtles and things like that. Just being in nature. Those experiences impressed on me the value of the natural world and its place as something to be curious about. Although it was much later in my life that I realized, oh, this is something that I might want to study and ...
