Global water scarcity: the monthly blue water footprint compared to blue water availability for the world's major river basins [PDF]
Conventional blue water scarcity indicators suffer from four weaknesses: they measure water withdrawal instead of consumptive water use, they compare water use with actual runoff rather than natural (undepleted) runoff, they ignore environmental flow ...
