Abstract:

In the wake of a growing concern about both the unchecked rise of poverty and the local and global consequences of water scarcity, the relationships between water and poverty are the object of a sprawling literature. Indicators are presented as indispensable tools for informing and orienting policy-making, comparing situations and measuring performance. This paper first reviews different conceptions of water scarcity and shows the variety of associated causes. A brief look at the virtues and shortcomings of some of the indicators used in the development sector then serves to introduce a review

Such methods may also be based on multi-criteria decision-making, where a low flow regime and its variability are considered.

The critical role of water in enabling or constraining human well-being and socioeconomic activities has led to an interest in quantitatively establishing the status of water (in)sufficiency over space and time.

Since then, numerous indicators have been introduced, but nearly all adopt the same basic formulation; water status is a function of “available water” resource—by the d

Abstract:

Abstract. Countries sharing river basins are often dependent upon water originating outside their boundaries; meaning that without that upstream water, water scarcity may occur with flow-on implications for water use and management. We develop a formalisation of this concept drawing on ideas about the transition between regimes from resilience literature, using water stress and water shortage as indicators of water scarcity. In our analytical framework, dependency occurs if water from upstream is needed to avoid scarcity. This can be diagnosed by comparing different types of water availability

Abstract:

Addressing agricultural water scarcity poses a current challenge of growing concern, exacerbated by climate change. This is particularly relevant for stone fruit trees, such as apricot, cultivated in semi-arid zones, where regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) strategies are gaining attention to tackle the challenge. The RDI method involves optimizing various factors based on how the plant responds physiologically to indicators of its water needs. Among these indicators, water potential is considered the most reliable and influential measure. For numerous apricot varieties and diverse geographic

Abstract:

Sustainable healthy diets are high on the research and policy agendas. One of the crucial resources to provide such diets are water resources. This paper provides a brief overview of the current research state regarding this topic, with a focus on the water footprint concept, as latter quantifies water use along a supply chain. The water footprint (WF) quantifies blue and green water consumption, as both these water resources are essential for food and energy production as well as for the environment. Different kinds of information are embedded in a dietary WF and different data sources and mo

Lebanon is affected by a protracted environmental and solid waste crisis that is threatening the water resources and the public health of its communities. This study is part of a public participatory research project that aims to evaluate the impacts of solid waste disposal practices on water, air, and health in six villages of Lebanon, stigmatized by the presence of a regional landfill. Community mapping enabled the selection and testing of seven springs and three wells in the upstream basin and 11 wells in the lower basin, covering a broad list of chemical, physical, and bacteriological para

Abstract. The city of Taiz is the third largest city in Yemen, located about 250 km south of Sana'a and about 90 km inland from the Red Sea. Taiz is situated on the foothills and slopes of the Jabal Saber Mountain at elevations between 1100 and 1600 m a.s.l. Its population is rapidly increasing and is expected to grow from about 580 000 in 2012 to over 1 000 000 in 2020. Water supply is the most pressing problem in the city of Taiz today due to the significant shortages of supply (the average consumption is 23 L/d) caused by the depletion of existing water resources and the lack of a clear dir

The oases of the South of Kébili are subjected to serious problems related to climate change and water scarcity resulting from the rise in temperature and the decrease in rainfall. Thus, the region suffers from a significant shortage of irrigation water due to long periods of drought affecting this already fragile area, but also due to human behavior. Our study aims to discuss and analyze the issue related to the impacts of climate change and social changes on water scarcity in the oases the South of Kébili, as well as to contribute to the assessment of the impact of these changes on palm prod

Abstract:

Soybeans are a valuable crop, yet in Uzbekistan, the cultivation area is small, covering approximately 150,000 hectares. The main reasons are the lack of suitable soybean varieties for the local climate, water scarcity, and competition for land with other crops. Harvesting is a critical process, and in Uzbekistan, combine harvesters are commonly used. To prevent damage during harvesting, it is essential to understand the size-mass indicators of soybeans grown in Uzbekistan. Experiments have shown that the height of soybeans during harvesting varies from an average of 63 to 99 cm, depending on

Global climate change exacerbates water scarcity, making efficient water use a critical priority worldwide. In Türkiye, agricultural irrigation accounts for a significant share of water consumption, underscoring the need for sustainable management practices. Water users associations (WUAs) play a crucial role in overseeing irrigation schemes and optimizing water use in agriculture. This study assesses the irrigation performance of the Karacabey Water Users Association in Bursa Province using data from 2006 to 2023.
