Item Open Access Can water conservation save agriculture?(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2017) Wostoupal, Benjamin, author; Dozier, Andre, author; Arabi, Mazdak, author; Goemans, Christopher, authorMore than one-third of the global population lives in parts of the world that lack sufficient freshwater resources to support the needs of local populations. In many of these regions, rapid population growth has led to the reallocation of water from agricultural purposes to meet growing urban demands. Rural economies, dependent on agriculture, have suffered as a result. This study examines how water transfers affects rural economies and investigates strategies to protect such economies. Results are of widespread interest for the future health, security, and livelihood of agricultural communities throughout the world and the populations that depend on their productivity.Item Open Access Characterization of urban water use and water demand forecasting using the Integrated Urban Water Model in Sao Paulo, Brazil(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2017) Batista, Giovana, author; Arabi, Mazdak, author; Sharvelle, Sybil, author; Dozier, Andre, authorUrban sprawl over the past decades have put water resources under pressure in urban areas due to constantly increasing demand and impaired quality. Particularly in developing countries, investments in this sector are still scarce. The application of the Integrated Urban Water Model - IUWM - for the characterization of current and future urban water demand in the municipality of Sao Paulo, Brazil, is pioneering in applying the model outside of the United States. The model also evaluates water conservation scenarios, cost saving options and can be of use for water utilities and urban planners.
