Bytes Europe · Global Warming Exacerbates Water Gaps: Study Reveals Alarming TrendsWater gaps amounting to nearly 458 billion cubic meters per year already exist. These are projected to increase by 6 per cent under 1.5 degrees Celsius warming and by 15 per cent under 3 degrees Celsius warming according to a new analysis published in Nature Communications on January 30, 2025.Water gaps are defined as the difference between renewable water availability and water consumption while maintaining adequate flows in aquatic environments.Researchers Lorenzo Rosa (Carnegie Institution for Science) and Matteo Sangiorgio (Politecnico di Milano) used climate outputs from five climate models from the CMIP6 archive to quantify water gaps under baseline, 1.5°C,
