CURRENT FRESHWATER USES AND FUTURE SUPPLY - DEMAND MISMATCH<br />

The gap between global freshwater supply and demand is expected to reach<br />

~40% by 2030, but water challenges are local in nature<br />

• The supply-demand mismatch depicted above is driven both by reductions in freshwater supply and increasing demand.<br />

Failure to address this gap fully could lead to serious consequences (detailed in slides 36 and 37).<br />

• The global 40%-gap figure is an aggregation of numerous local gaps, some of which are even worse. For instance, it is<br />

forecast that India’s 2030 gap will be ~50%, and that 1/3 of the population of developing countries will live in basins where the<br />

deficit exceeds 50%. There is therefore no single freshwater crisis, as different regions/countries face very different water<br />

challenges and generalizations should thus be taken with caution.<br />

The withdrawal figure for 2009 presented in this study is higher than the World Bank figure presented in previous slides. The authors could not<br />

reconcile data differences as only the latter database is publically available; 2 CAGR: Compound annual growth rate; 3 Existing supply which can be<br />

provided at 90% reliability, based on historical hydrology and infrastructure investments scheduled through 2010, net of environmental requirements;<br />

fossil/non-renewable groundwater reserves have not been considered, as they are not sustainable in the long term; 4 Figures slightly changed for<br />

consistency purpose with slide 64.<br />
