water scarcity
Definition
A complete explanation of the intended meaning of a concept- An imbalance between supply and demand of freshwater in a specified domain (e.g. country, region, catchment or river basin) as a result of a high rate of demand compared with available supply, under prevailing institutional arrangements (including price) and infrastructural conditions. Symptoms are unsatisfied demand, tensions between users, competition for water, overextraction of groundwater and insufficient flows to the natural environment.
- Déséquilibre entre l’offre et la demande d’eau dans un secteur donné (pays, région, bassin versant, bassin hydrographique, etc.) suite à une demande élevée par rapport à l’offre disponible, dans le cadre des dispositifs institutionnels en vigueur (y compris le prix) et de la situation sur le plan des infrastructures.
- La brecha entre el suministro disponible y la demanda expresada de agua dulce en un área determinada, bajo las disposiciones institucionales (incluyendo la ‘fijación del precio’ del recurso y los costes acordados para el consumidor) y las condiciones de infraestructura existentes.
