1) What is a national water footprint?
2) Water use is often measured in units of volumes consumed per time, what is another way to measure water use that is mentioned in the paper? Name an example of an indicator for this alternative measure.
3) Which continent has the most water availability per capita? Which has the least?
4) What is virtual water?
5) Name some continents and/or regions in which most nations are generally strong importers of virtual water.
6) Name some nations that do not reflect the greater regional trend surrounding them concerning the importation/exportation of virtual water.
7) Are water withdrawals in 2025 projected to increase more within the developed or developing world?
8) As a whole, is the greatest portion of BOD loading to waterways from industrial, residential, or agricultural sectors? Are the same trends relating the three true for OECD vs Non-OECD countries as a whole?
9) What are the main stressors discussed in the paper, and is it best to think of these stressors as integrated with each other or not?
10) What are the most likely major impacts of climate change on water availability described in Table 1?
11) Why is the coastal-urban interface especially sensitive to the integrated stressors mentioned in the paper, and in general what has been the characteristic shape of all global water stressors?
12) According to the "low" projection in Figure 5; how many people will be affected by water scarcity and stress in 2050? How many face water scarcity and stress as of 1995?
13) Name a potential benefit accompanying a likely climate change impact mentioned in Table 1.
