Abstract |
This discussion paper has been developed in order to assist the coalition of the WEF to develop an action plan for the annual meeting of 2008, to find solutions to prevent significant business disruptions due to water scarcity, and all its technical, economic, political, environmental and social implications. Water scarcity is a reality today, and expected to worsen in the future as a result of climate change and demographics. |
