Journal ArticleDOI
Human Appropriation of Renewable Fresh Water
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that increased use of evapotranspiration will confer minimal benefits globally because most land suitable for rain-fed agriculture is already in production. And they also show that new dam construction could increase accessible runoff by about 10 percent over the next 30 years, whereas population is projected to increase by more than 45 percent during that period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogels and Hydrogel-Derived Materials for Energy and Water Sustainability.
TL;DR: This review highlights the highly tunable synthesis of various hydrogels, involving key synthetic elements such as monomer/polymer building blocks, cross-linkers, and functional additives, and discusses how hydrogles can be employed as precursors and templates for architecting three-dimensional frameworks of electrochemically active materials.

Water Use for Shale-Gas Production in Texas, U.S.
TL;DR: Net water use for shale-gas production in the U.S. is quantified using data from Texas, which is the dominant producer of shale gas, with a focus on three major plays: the Barnett Shale, Texas-Haynesville Shale and Eagle Ford Shale.
Journal ArticleDOI
The water–energy nexus in Middle East and North Africa
Afreen Siddiqi,Laura Diaz Anadon +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a country-level quantitative assessment of the water-energy nexus in the MENA region is performed, and the results show that up to 9% of the total annual electrical energy consumption may be attributed to ground water pumping and desalination.

Estimated use of water in the United States in 1990
TL;DR: Water withdrawals in the United States during 1990 were estimated to average 408,000 million gallons per day (Mgal/d) of freshwater and saline water for offstream uses-2 percent more than the 1985 estimate.

TL;DR: Ecological criteria for acceptable freshwater consumption, together with hydrological data on stream flow, provide a framework for estimating constraints and point to the importance of water supply constraints in both the eastern and western United States.
