Multimodel assessment of water scarcity under climate change (2013, result): “Most of these patterns are consistent with previous studies (8, 11, 17, 18), but there are also some differences.”
The green, blue and grey water footprint of crops and derived crops products (2011, background): “The earlier estimates focus on the estimation of blue water withdrawal (Gleick, 1993; Alcamo et al., 2007) and irrigation water requirements (Döll and Siebert, 2002). More recently, a few studies have separated global water consumption for crop production into green and blue water. Rost et al. (2008”
Are we in deep water? Water scarcity and its limits to economic growth (2017, background): “Alcamo et al. (2007) analysed the change in blue water (surface and groundwater) withdrawals for two alternative trajectories for population and economic growth, based on the A2 and B2 IPCC scenarios, finding that the principal cause of increasing water stress is growing domestic water use…”
Is physical water scarcity a new phenomenon? Global assessment of water shortage over the last two millennia (2010, methodology): “In table 3 we show results using the two indices, whereby we compare estimates of population under chronic water shortage (<1000 m3/capita/yr) with estimates of population with a high water stress (Rws > 0.4), as done previously by Oki and Kanae (2006) and Alcamo et al (2007).”
An integrated assessment of global and regional water demands for electricity generation to 2095 (2013, background): “Scientists, policy makers, and the public are therefore increasingly concerned about water scarcity [9,10] – a concern that has driven a rise in global assessments of water resources.”
Future cereal production in China: The interaction of climate change, water availability and socio-economic scenarios (2009, result): “Other studies that incorporate multiple drivers of change tend to obtain similar results: increasing demand due to economic and demographic growth leads to large changes in per capita food and water availability, often outweighing climatically induced changes (Conway et al., 1996; Vorosmarty et al.,”
