Water demand estimates in megacities across South Asia are often exaggerated, not informed by local socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, and don’t account for seasonal variability. In this study, using a mixed methods approach we quantify household water use and its determinants in...

Can social policies assist households in coping with the effects of extreme weather events? We evaluate the role of the Indigent Program, an income-based social assistance program in South Africa that provided free electricity and water to poor households, in helping rural households adapt to...

The goal of this study was to look at the economic relationship between energy, water use, and plant and animal food production in Saudi Arabia from 1995 to 2020. The results showed that about 55.5%, 82.4%, and 2.5% of changes in the index of plant and animal food production were related to...

Currently, the security ensurance of agricultural water consumption is crucial for maintaining food production stability under the impacts of climate change and urbanization. In this study, based on the division of water utilization sectors into agricultural and non-agricultural parts, we...

Residential water demand has been extensively studied, with the impact of various household characteristics on consumption well-documented. However, the specific effect of gender on household consumption remains insufficiently identified due to the predominant focus on mixed-gender households in...

Technological innovation is considered an increasingly important factor for the sustainable use of natural resources. With technology, it may be possible to maintain the quantity produced of a given good by reducing pressure on the environment. However, the gain in efficiency in the direct use...

Between 2013 and 2016, several regions in Brazil suffered from some event of scarcity, drought and/or the possibility of water rationing. However, the direct abstraction of Blue Water for consumptive use grew 6.38% in the period. In turn, technology is considered an increasingly important factor...

The effects of the climate crisis are worsening water shortages, not only in the Global South but also in Europe, for example in the Berlin-Brandenburg region. Due to inadequate pricing of surface and groundwater abstraction and a lack of regulatory instruments, water overuse is occurring in...

Die Effekte der Klimakrise verschärfen die Wasserknappheit nicht nur im globalen Süden, sondern auch in unseren Breitengraden, beispielsweise in der Region Berlin-Brandenburg. Wegen unzureichender Bepreisung der Entnahme von Oberflächen- und Grundwasser beziehungsweise mangelnden...

One of the Sustainable Development Goals (Goal 6) set by the United Nations is to provide people with access to water and sanitation through sustainable water resources management. Water supply companies carrying out tasks commissioned by local authorities ensure there is an optimal amount of...

This study estimates the pressure exerted by Italian consumption on domestic and foreign water resources, adopting the Multiregional Input Output (MRIO) approach and using the information of the most recent (year 2014) World Input-Output Database (WIOD). Disaggregated results are obtained at...

Economic theories and tools provide only partial insight into the many complexities affecting various uses and flows of water. To usefully teach water economics, it is therefore necessary to understand and cooperate with other disciplines. Many economic concepts can be used to understand...

Research Question: This paper explores the impact of climate change on major Australian sport stadia, and organizational responses. Specifically, we explore how climate change impacts the water resources used at such stadia, and implications for the organizations managing this critical sport...

The Chinese government has been using the water efficiency target to manage commercial, institutional, and industrial water use across the country. This paper argues that the water efficiency target may unintentionally influence provincial administrators’ preferences in tightening water...

The necessity of detection of nitrite as a challenging compound in food industrials always has been considered. Addressed herein, two transition metal oxide based nanocatalysts, NiO ‐ Co3O4 (NC) and its reduced graphene hybridized form, NiO ‐ Co3O4 ‐ rGO (NCR), was prepared by a...

The development of electrocatalyst that show multifunctionality towards efficient sensing and energy applications are of significant interest. Herein, we report a rational design of photochemical deposition of Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on ZIF-67-decorated carbon nanotube (Ag NPs/ZIF-67@CNT)...

Household water insecurity harms quality of life outcomes beyond health, for example the disutility of worrying about water availability or anger at disrupted plans. However, these outcomes are excluded from cost-benefit analyses of water supply interventions, which typically measure and value...

The cost and time burdens of obtaining water are expected to rise as climate change-induced water shortages increase in frequency and severity. This paper estimates the increased costs of water provisioning that occur due to weather shocks for vulnerable households and documents the inequitable...

Common resources may be managed with inefficient policies for the sake of equity. We study how rationing the commons shapes the efficiency and equity of resource use, in the context of agricultural groundwater use in Rajasthan, India. We find that rationing binds on input use, such that farmers,...

This paper provides new evidence on the convergence process of energy, water and food per capita consumption levels for 108 countries from 1971 to 2018, using a common data set, with VAR and panel data approach. We establish a new notion of multivariate sigma and beta-convergence. The results...
