Research Highlights
Water-stressed Globe Will Face Increased Thirst
Climate research shows Middle East and India at risk for greater water scarcity
By the end of the century, an increased demand for fresh water will hit the Middle East and India harder than other regions of the world, according to new research at PNNL. Projections analyzed by the researchers show that climate change will increasingly stress water availability, especially in already-dry regions.
