Conservation management of rivers and wetlands under climate change – a synthesis (2011, background): “Environmental impacts should be adequately assessed across ecological and socioeconomic dimensions (e.g. flooding of agricultural land; impacts on fisheries; Gleick 2003).”
Physicochemical stream bed characteristics and recruitment of the freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) (2007, background): “degradation of running waters is globally widespread (Gleick, 2003).”
Sustainability of global water use: past reconstruction and future projections (2014, background): “However, in recent years various studies report overuse of surface water and groundwater resources worldwide (Falkenmark 1989, Postel et al 1996, Gleick 2003, 2010, Oki and Kanae 2006, Döll et al 2009, Rodell et al 2009, Kummu et al 2010, 2014, MacDonald 2010, Vörösmarty et al 2010, Wada et al…”
Challenges for freshwater invertebrate conservation (2006, background): “Although there are promising signs that per capita water use has been leveling off or even falling in recent years (Gleick 2001), overall water use by humans is projected to rise as the human population rises through the 21st century (Gleick 2003).”
Socio‐hydrology: Use‐inspired water sustainability science for the Anthropocene (2014, neutral): “By 1980, abstractions from streams were almost 100% of the natural flows during low-flow periods.”
An integrated assessment of global and regional water demands for electricity generation to 2095 (2013, background): “Specifically, agricultural water use may grow relatively slowly, albeit from a large initial volume, because the global area of irrigated land is not expected to expand dramatically in the next few decades [29,30], and irrigation projects tend to be fairly inefficient with much improvement possible ”
Sustainable and Resilient Urban Water Systems: The Role of Decentralization and Planning (2019, background): “In addition to making investment decisions premised on the “sunk costs” discussed above, conventional cost-benefit analyses underestimate the social and ecological costs of centralized water systems [24,65].”
Virtual water trade: an assessment of water use efficiency in the international food trade (2006, background): “In the central and western United States, for example, many rivers and aquifers have been over-exploited causing serious regional water resources depletion and environmental degradation (Postel, 1996; Gleick, 2003).”
