CAMBRIDGE:  A newly published study illustrates that expanding population and economy along with climate change can lead to severe Water Stress in various states across Asia by 2050, which is inhabited by half of world’s population.

“It’s not just a climate change issue. We simply cannot ignore that economic and population growth in society can have a very strong influence on our demand for resources and how we manage them. And climate, on top of that, can lead to substantial magnifications to those stresses.” says Adam Schlosser, a senior research scientist. “Our preliminary findings indicate strong cases for effective actions and measures to reduce risk.”

The study also indicated that there are varying factors that contribute to this Water Stress like in China industrial growth while in India the population expansion exacerbate it.
