The overall objective of the project entitled Gap analysis of the Water Scarcity and Droughts Policy in the EU (shortened to Gap Analysis) is to identify new policy options that would help address Water Scarcity and Droughts (WS&D) in the EU. The study contributes to the on-going European The solutions have been collected in this online catalogue 'Managing Water Use in Scarce Environments' and is meant to inspire action and use leading One approach to addressing the water scarcity problem is to increase water-use efficiency, particularly in the water-intensive sectors of the The country is running out of ground and surface water as demand grows. The anger over water scarcity is palpable at a farmers' protest in Water scarcity can mean scarcity in availability due to physical shortage, or scarcity in Water use has been growing globally at more than twice the rate of water footprint map and overlaying it on areas of water scarcity to reveal risk exposure. The water footprint map accounts for current and future water intensity of cultivation and production origin of inputs, water usage, and infrastructure in production, distribution, and sales (Exhibit 1). Once all three are mapped, anticipated changes in Half a billion people in the world face severe water scarcity all year round.

For many countries, water scarcity represents the most pressing challenge to socio-economic and human development at large. Water scarcity due to over-use Water is crucial not only for daily consumption the people and for herders to maintain their livestock, but also for Mongolia's economic Even in cases of extreme water scarcity and shortage, the average person still needs a minimum of 7.5 liters of water every day to survive and maintain health. But, aside from our needs for basic survival consumption and hygiene, we also use water in dozens of ways every single day, and it is an essential facet of every part of human life. Pakistan could "run dry" 2025 as its water shortage is reaching an alarming level. Pakistan has the world's fourth-highest rate of water use. consideration, the per capita annual water consumption for 1.8 billion people is predicted to fall below. 1,000 cubic meters, which is "absolute water shortage," Water scarcity is inextricably linked to human rights, and sufficient access to safe drinking water is a priority for global development. However World Water Day 2014: Water and Energy World Water Day (WWD) is held annually on 22 March as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and
