- Water Stress
- Water Stress
- less than 1700m3 per person
- Water Scarcity
- less than 1000m3 per person
- demand is above the available clean water supply
- less than 1700m3 per person
- increasing populations - higher demand as well as higher standards of living
- water consuming devices e.g washing machines contribute to water consumption - rural areas only consume water that have been collected from a water source
- demand is above the available clean water supply
- less than 1000m3 per person
- agriculture
- majority of water use will be for farming as it is the main industry for income
- some countries have not developed a clear way of identifying water consumption and paying for it
- majority of water use will be for farming as it is the main industry for income
- industrialisation
- electricity is needed to power factories - water dependent e.g steam to power turbines
- Coca Cola factories in India uses 4 bottles of water for one bottle of coke
- electricity is needed to power factories - water dependent e.g steam to power turbines
- high risk -N.Africa and Middle East e,g Morocco and UAE
- 30 degrees N - Hadley and Ferrel circulation meet - high pressure, sinking air, cloud formation and minimal rain
- USA - several latitudes with different climate zones - high living standards - at risk, China and India have fast growing populations
- low risk - Brazil, near equator
- low air pressure, warm air rises and condenses
- Greenland too - melted ice will make freshwater
- Russia - high landmass to its population - low risk
