- W4322007044 abstract "Water scarcity is a growing concern in many regions worldwide, as demand for clean water increases and supply becomes increasingly uncertain under climate change. Already today, more than 4 billion people experience water scarcity at least one month per year (Mekonnen and Hoekstra, 2016). Developing socio-economic conditions and growing population increase water demands, while climate change leads to changes in freshwater availability. Most studies quantify water scarcity in discrete time windows, with fixed population and climate change signals (e.g., 30 years or long-term averages). Recently, however, Thiery et al. (2021) proposed a novel approach, in which climate change impacts are integrated over a person's lifetime. In this cohort perspective, lifetime impact values are comparable across generations and regions. Evaluating this perspective for natural hazards, they showed, for example, that a newborn will experience a sixfold increase in drought exposure compared to a 60-year-old (Thiery et al., 2021). In this study, we use this cohort perspective to study how much water scarcity a person experiences during their lifetime. Based on monthly fluctuations in water demand and availability, we estimate the total amount of water demand not met and refer to it as 'lifetime water deficit'. To this end, we use an ensemble of four global hydrological models (MATSIRO, CWatM, LPJmL and H08), each forced by four GCMs and two RCP scenarios from the InterSectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP2b). The simulations account for varying population and socio-economic conditions in the historical and future period, following the SSP2 scenario. Combined with country-based population, cohort distribution and life expectancies, lifetime water deficits are quantified for different generations on a country level. Our findings reveal high water lifetime deficit values for regions that are already water scarce today, such as the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Middle East. In these regions, more than 70% of the lifetime water demand is not met when needed. Further comparison reveals differences in spatial, intergenerational and climate change scenarios, and provides information on different scenarios. Overall, this study provides a new perspective on quantifying water scarcity and the climate and population impacts. References:Mekonnen, M. M., & Hoekstra, A. Y. (2016).
