Reduced water supplies would place additional stress on people, agriculture, and the environment. Already, some 1. 7 billion people-a third of the world population-live in water-stressed countries, a figure expected to rise to 5 billion by 2025.

OBS

Water stress: Condition in which the annual availability of renewable fresh water is less than 1,667 and greater than 1,000 cubic meters per person in the population.

OBS

Water stress occurs when the demand for water exceeds the available amount during a certain period or when poor quality restricts its use. Water stress causes deterioration of fresh water resources in terms of quantity (aquifer over-exploitation, dry rivers, etc.) and quality (eutrophication, organic matter pollution, saline intrusion, etc.).

Key term(s)
  • water stressed country

Domaine(s)
  • Climatologie

CONT

La raréfaction de l'eau alourdirait les contraintes pesant sur les populations, l'agriculture et l'environnement. Déjà, quelque 1,7 milliard de personnes - soit le tiers de la population mondiale - vivent dans des pays soumis à des stress hydriques, chiffre qui devrait atteindre les cinq milliards, d'ici à 2025.

OBS

Le stress hydrique se définit comme une insuffisance d'eau de qualité satisfaisante pour pouvoir répondre aux besoins humains et environnementaux.
