with water scarcity. By 2025, two-thirds of the world's population may face water shortages. An adequate and 7 water supply is essential to the future of every country. To increase and conserve supplies of fresh water, many countries have been working at technological 8 , one of which is...
(i.e., physical water scarcity), but it may also result from a lack of suitable infrastructure to provide access to what might otherwise be considered ample availablewater resources, which is referred to as economic water scarcity. Physical water scarcity may occur as a result of both natural...
First, basin-level water scarcity may be economically beneficial or detrimental depending on a basin’s future adaptive capacity and comparative advantage, but that advantage is highly path-dependent on which deeply uncertain factors emerge as the basin-specific drivers of consequential outcomes. For ...
Mobility (that is, seasonal movements of pastoralists and their herd11) is the traditional strategy of pastoralists in drylands around the globe to cope with climate variability and water and pasture scarcity12,13. Yet it is not to be considered as a mere drought coping mechanism but a whole...
The studies tend to have varying results based on the covariates used and type of subject population. An analysis of the results of the five studies with regard to effects associated with prenatal and postnatal lead exposure and pregnancy outcome has been carried out and reveals inconsistencies in...
Humans rely on finite natural resources, and their activity is projected to be the dominant driver of future water scarcity on a global scale.10 One expert noted that easy access to water has created a misalignment between public perception and the actual cost of managing water systems. Policy ...
In terms of pressures (relevant to water bodies as well), these goals might translate in increasing pressures on the ecosystem services coming from infrastructure projects and the related use of limited space and resources. But these goals provide also an excellent opportunity for the EU to be a...
Water and sanitation to people affected and living with HIV/AIDS were some of the shortcomings in South Africa [14]. In India time, economic constraints, lack of individual household toilets, lack of fuel for boiling water, and water scarcity were the problem for PLWHA [15]. Stigma and ...
As the soil moisture feedback on surface water availability is stronger in drier conditions, human activities like irrigation may weaken the negative soil moisture feedback and magnify water scarcity in dry regions, but the scale at which this effect might be detected need to be identified. Our ...
The Nash equilibrium outcome of each country was determined by entering the results obtained from the combination of the countries’ strategies in the payoff matrix. The Nash equilibrium in this matrix occurs when Afghanistan is oppositional and the other two countries are compromising. This situation...
