Water poverty indicators: conceptual problems and policy issues (2003, background): “The cases of Zimbabwe, South Africa and other countries from southern Africa provide vivid examples of an extreme case of politically constructed water scarcity of category U3/4S5 (Swatuk, 2002).”
Integration of the biophysical and social sciences using an indicator approach: Addressing water problems at different scales (2006, methodology): “The importance of such integration has been emphasized (Harris, 2002; Wallace et al., 2003), and the use of indicators generated from these integrated approaches have been widely discussed (Bradbury, 1996; Turner et al., 2000; Kammerbauer et al., 2001; Sullivan, 2002; Yoffe and Ward, 1999).”
Improved method to calculate a water poverty index at local scale (2010, neutral): “In this respect, the term water poverty has been amply discussed in recent years Feitelson and Chenoweth 2002; Sullivan 2002; Shah and van Koppen 2006 , though its definition is still being disputed.”
An Integrated Assessment of Water Markets: A Cross-Country Comparison (2011, background): “Many of the world s arid and semiarid regions face the challenge of declining water supplies (Ludwig and Moench 2009) and increasing demand for water resources due to population and income growth (Falkenmark 1999).”
Is physical water scarcity a new phenomenon? Global assessment of water shortage over the last two millennia (2010, background): “Indices aiming to combine physical and social water scarcities include, for example, the water poverty index (Sullivan 2002, Sullivan et al 2003) and the social water stress index (Ohlsson 1998).”
Water and Economic Growth (2002, background): “…to affect the availability of fresh water in a region, and in poor economies there is the additional problem that the effective supplies available to producers and households may be less than actual supplies due to lack of access to safe water and the time spent collecting water (Sullivan 2002).”
The Water Poverty Index: development and application at the community scale (2003, methodology): “A number of other ways of combining the data to create the WPI were considered, but this approach was judged to achieve the results while retaining the virtues of simplicity and straightforwardness (Sullivan et al., 2002).”
Agricultural water poverty index and sustainability (2011, methodology): “Trait First generation Second generation Third generation Index Hydrological Water Stress Index (HWSI) Social Water Scarcity Index (SWSI) Water Poverty Index (WPI) Originator Falkenmark, Lundqvist and Widstrand (1989) Leif Ohlsson (1995) Caroline Sullivan (2002) Measuring indicator(s) (criteria) Phy”
Measuring global water security towards sustainable development goals (2016, background): “Examples are the water-poverty index (Sullivan 2002), water-vulnerability index (Hamouda et al 2009, Sullivan 2011, Gain et al 2012, Giupponi et al 2013, Aleksandrova et al 2016), and risk index (Gain and Giupponi 2015, Giupponi et al 2015, Gain et al 2015b).”
The Water Poverty Index: an International Comparison (2002, background): “There is a strong link between ‘water poverty’, and ‘income poverty’ (Sullivan, 2002).”
The Livelihood Vulnerability Index: A pragmatic approach to assessing risks from climate variability and change—A case study in Mozambique (2009, background): “Of the second-generation studies, there are a multitude of interpretations about how best to apply exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity concepts to quantify vulnerability (Sullivan, 2002; O’Brien et al., 2004; Vincent, 2004; Ebi et al., 2006; Thornton et al., 2006; Polsky et al., 2007).”
Livelihood vulnerability index analysis : an approach to study vulnerability in the context of Bihar : original research (2014, background): “where LVIb is the livelihood vulnerability index for the block b, and the weightage of the eight major components, WMi, determined by the number of subcomponents that make up each major component, contribute equally to the overall LVI (Hahn et al. 2009; Sullivan 2002).”
