Gap between water supply and demand will increase as climate shifts, analysis finds

Robust water-management strategies will be necessary to overcome discrepancies between water supply and demand in a warming world, according to a new analysis by Carnegie Science's Lorenzo Rosa and Matteo Sangiorgio of the Polytechnic University of Milan.

"Substantial #water gaps can currently be found in the Ganges-Brahmaputra basin in India and Bangladesh, the Sabarmati basin in India and the Tigris-Euphrates basin, which covers much of the Middle East.

Under both warming scenarios, notable increases in water gaps are expected in the Ganges-Brahmaputra basin and the Mississippi-Missouri basin in the US."

How a Two-Century Megadrought Gap Set the West up for its Water and Climate Crisis

A new study further cements how global warming, by drying soils, is raising odds of megadrought conditions across a water-dependent swath of the western United States

We tend to use more water than is available in the world, which as you can imagine, can be problematic. In a collaborative effort, National Geographic mapped the #WaterGap since 1980
