Stockholm University study in Nature Water reveals that global water scarcity risks are underestimated, as assessing upwind environmental conditions increases risk by nearly 50%.

A study from Stockholm University published in Nature Water reveals that global water scarcity risks are underestimated when focusing only on local rainfall. Analyzing 379 hydrological basins, researchers found that assessing upwind environmental conditions significantly impacts water availability, increasing the risk by nearly 50%. This highlights the need for international cooperation in managing water resources, as changes in land use can affect water security across borders.
