Evolution of the global virtual water trade network
Carole Dalin,Megan Konar,Naota Hanasaki,Andrea Rinaldo,Andrea Rinaldo,Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that the international food trade has led to enhanced savings in global water resources over time, indicating its growing efficiency in terms of global water use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Socio‐hydrology: Use‐inspired water sustainability science for the Anthropocene
Murugesu Sivapalan,Megan Konar,Veena Srinivasan,Ashwini Chhatre,Amber Wutich,Christopher A. Scott,James L. Wescoat,Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a use-inspired scientific discipline to focus on understanding, interpretation, and scenario development of the flows and stocks in the human-modified water cycle across time and space scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water for food: The global virtual water trade network
Megan Konar,Carole Dalin,Samir Suweis,Samir Suweis,Naota Hanasaki,Andrea Rinaldo,Andrea Rinaldo,Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a conceptual framework and methodology for studying virtual water trade in the context of international food trade and show that the number of trade connections follows an exponential distribution, except for the case of import trade relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sociohydrology : Scientific Challenges in Addressing the Sustainable Development Goals
Giuliano Di Baldassarre,Murugesu Sivapalan,Maria Rusca,Christophe Cudennec,Margaret Garcia,Heidi Kreibich,Megan Konar,Elena Mondino,Johanna Mård,Saket Pande,Matthew R. Sanderson,Fuqiang Tian,Alberto Viglione,Alberto Viglione,Jing Wei,Yongping Wei,David J. Yu,Veena Srinivasan,Günter Blöschl +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an integrated approach to managing and allocating water resources, by involving all actors and stakeholders, and considering how water resources link different sectors of society.
Journal ArticleDOI
