Water scarcity,desertification, and endangered biodiversity in barren lands are strong incentives to develop genuine solutions and resilient policies toward greening drylands and turning them into more viable ecosystems for people, native animals, andplant species. Abundant sun and seawater in large areas...
Water Scarcity and Its Solutions Water scarcity is a critical issue that affects millions of people around the world. It occurs when the demand for water exceeds the available supply, leading to a lack of access to clean and safe drinking water. This problem is particularly prevalent in ...

Water scarcity solutions may not be available to all cities. The improvement of water-use efficiency as well as other measures require the large-scale construction of water infrastructure, rapid development of new technologies, and large economic investment, which are difficult to achieve in low- an...
More than two thirds of water-scarce cities can relieve water scarcity by infrastructure investment, but the potentially significant environmental trade-offs associated with large-scale water scarcity solutions must be guarded against. 展开 关键词:...
Water Scarcity Solutions for Irrigated Agriculture in the Warming Western U.S. Guest editors: Noah Silber-Coats; Lauren Parker; Emile Elias; Sharon B. Megdal; Alexander “Sam” Fernald Following a century marked by the construction of monumental dams and canals, the western United States is chara...
Water scarcity is rapidly increasing in many regions. In a novel, multi-model assessment, we examine how human interventions (HI: land use and land cover change, man-made reservoirs and human water use) affected monthly river water availability and water
Water scarcity, a critical environmental issue worldwide, has primarily been driven by a significant increase in water extractions during the last century. In the coming decades, climate and societal changes are projected to further exacerbate water scar
Target 6.4 of the recently adopted Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) deals with the reduction of water scarcity. To monitor progress towards this target, two indicators are used: Indicator 6.4.1 measuring water use efficiency and 6.4.2 measuring the level of water stress (WS). This paper aim...
