This Global Water Scarcity Atlas provides an introduction to water scarcity, and showcases analyses that cover the whole world, based on cutting edge research.

Water scarcity means there is not enough water to go around. There is a need to reduce demand or increase supply - or someone loses out. Whatever happens, when water scarcity hits, the world cannot stay the same.
