Abstract
By mid-century, it is projected that the world will face a water deficit under a business-as-usual climate scenario. At the same time, the majority of the world’s population will be urban. Considering these trends, the key objective for cities to be resilient to water scarcity risks is to reduce demand for water so as to reduce pressure on water resources.
