Pressure on water resources in the Mediterranean Region

In aggregate terms there is no lack of water in the Mediterranean Region. But geographical distribution of rainfall is very uneven and there is a marked shortage of water in the South and East. Using the Falkenmark water stress index (less than 1000 m³/inhabitant/year) as a benchmark, we find that 60% of all people facing water scarcity in the world are concentrated in these areas.
