Storage and Distribution
IWMI: Water Scarcity and the Role of Storage in
Development (Publication)
One-third of the developing world will face severe water shortages in the
twenty-first century even though large amounts of water will continue to
annually flood out to sea from water-scarce regions. The problem is that the
sporadic, spatial and temporal distribution of precipitation rarely coincides
with demand. Whether the demand is for natural processes or human needs, the
only way water supply can match demand is through storage.
