The water footprint of humanity: not sustainable Blue water scarcity = blue water footprint / blue water availability Citation: Mekonnen, M.M. and Hoekstra, A.Y. (2016) Four billion people facing severe water scarcity, Science Advances, 2(2): e1500323. Strong points: We improve upon past efforts: by using estimates of blue water footprints (consumptive use of ground- and surface water flows) rather than water withdrawals, accounting for the flows needed to sustain critical ecological functions, and by considering monthly rather than annual values Source: Mekonnen & Hoekstra (2016) On monthly basis Accounting for environmental flow requirement At 30 arc-minute Blue water scarcity = blue water footprint / blue water availability
