Four billion people facing severe water scarcity
Science Advances 12 Feb 2016: / Vol. 2, no. 2
Freshwater scarcity ...a global systemic risk
Previous global water scarcity assessments, measuring water scarcity annually, have underestimated water scarcity by failing to capture the seasonal fluctuations in water consumption and availability.
We assess blue water scarcity globally at a high spatial resolution on a monthly basis. We find that two-thirds of the global population (4.0 billion people) live under conditions of severe water scarcity at least 1 month of the year. Nearly half of those people live in India and China.
Half a billion people in the world face severe water scarcity all year round.
