Freshwater shortages directly affect food security, access to safe drinking water, hygiene and public health, and environmental well‐being. Water scarcity can also retard economic development and promote civil strife. Robust measures of water scarcity are therefore required to inform water policy and help allocate resources to mitigate these effects. date: 2009-07-14 date_type: published publisher: American Geophysical Union (AGU) official_url: https://doi.org/10.1029/2009EO280001 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 108521 doi: 10.1029/2009EO280001 lyricists_name: Taylor, Richard lyricists_id: RTAYL91 actors_name: Taylor, Richard actors_id: RTAYL91 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Eos, Transactions of the American Geophysical Union volume: 90 number: 28 pagerange: 237-238 issn: 0096-3941 citation: Taylor, R; (2009) Rethinking Water Scarcity: The Role of Storage.
