coloring very confusing.
Kinda strange that the places in the sub-Saharan Africa like ethiopia and Kenya that have been in famine for generations, this map shows that they have as much water as Brazil, a country in the Amazon rain forest.
Water stress means the supply of good water vs the demand. There’s no water in Kenya.
This map is not right.
Why do they live in dry places, are they stupid?
G.C.C countries have some of the leading water desalinization technology and plants, I question the accuracy of this information.
Super concerned about India. How will such a high population survive in extreme water stress……
Seriously? Multiple sahel countries in light blue while countries such as America, Germany and South Korea are in yellow? Yup, this map is a steaming pile of shit.
This map is wrong. Take Albania for example. It is marked as high risk. Meanwhile Albania ranks among the countries with the highest water flow per capita in the world, behind Norway (marked as low risk) in Europe. This is what chatgpt has to say:
• According to some estimates, the water flow per capita is approximately 13,300 m³/year, one of the highest globally.
Water vapour from the sea cools in the mountains and comes back as rainfall. So, as long as the mountains remain and the medditerranean doesnt dry up, there will be water in Albania. Neither of those are likely to change in the next few thousand years.
Can we get the present data
If I remember correctly, this map divides ‘precipitation’ by ‘population’. However, of the total land precipitation, only about 5% is used by people. It is difficult to assess water stress based on precipitation and population alone because the remaining 95% of the potential for use varies depending on various factors such as topography, soil quality, irrigation facilities, and the rainy and dry seasons.
In addition, of the 5% of water that is used by humans, agricultural water accounts for about 70%, so the calculation of water stress in areas that do not focus on agriculture will vary greatly.
And this map is a prediction for 2050. The blue color in the southern Sahara (Sahel) region is because the southern Sahara is predicted to be an area with increased precipitation in long-term climate change.
They forgot population loss
