Are we in deep water? Water scarcity and its limits to economic growth

TLDR
In this paper, the authors developed a multi-regional input-output model to estimate future demand for water resources across different countries and sectors of the global economy, concluding that the most important driver of future water scarcity is economic growth, which overwhelms any realistic savings that can be made from increased technological progress and improvements to water efficiency.
