It is projected that global water demand will reach ***** billion cubic meters in terms of withdrawal by 2040. In the last few decades, the growth in water demand has doubled that of population growth. Water demand growth is also likely to vary based on region and sector. Regionally, water demand growth is expected to come mostly from India, Africa, and other developing countries in Asia. The agricultural industry is one of the largest consumers of water worldwide, primarily for irrigation purposes. Trends in water use will be largely dependent on urbanization, rising living standards, demand for goods, and changes in dietary preferences. Water accessibility A vast number of people worldwide still lack access to drinking water sources, while an even larger population has no access to improved sanitation services. In India, over **** million people have no household access to a safe water source. Striving to provide safe water access to these remaining population groups would likely also increase domestic water demand as well as the energy and infrastructure that would need to be put in place to provide these basic needs.

This statistic represents the projected water consumption worldwide in 2014 with projections until 2040, broken down by sector. In 2040, it is projected that water consumption under the agricultural sector will reach ***** billion cubic meters worldwide.

Water consumption is indispensable data in the trends and changes of key factors such as the water resource restoration process and water pressure judgment. Due to difficulties in obtaining and varying statistical dimensions, as the spatial scale continues to expand, the least reliable and most inconsistent water consumption also becomes apparent. As a result, the contradiction between the demand for data refinement and the slow development is increasingly expanding. With the innovation of research methods, the transformation from regionalization to rasterization has accelerated, but it has also caused difficulty in unifying conclusions. For this type of complex data, continuous "convergence" research can lead to more reliable results for practical applications. To this end, based on existing sub-national water withdrawal, this study takes into account the idea of the trapezoid model and the development trend of socio-economic indicators, spatially quantifies the utilization coefficient of agricultural water consumption, and corrects and calculates the utilization coefficient of industrial/municipal water consumption. This study not only provides reliable insights into water consumption trends and key shifts in different sectors, but also provides strong support for the boundary constraints of sub-national data. Furthermore, by considering the changing relationship between the development rate and the averageness, the restriction situation of different sectors at the sub-national level was analyzed. Among them, industrial water consumption played a very significant role in achieving the goal of reaching the peak.

Water withdrawals per capita in Turkmenistan amount to 2,740 cubic meters per inhabitant, according to the latest available data from 2021. This is a far higher volume than in many other countries, such as China, where per capita water withdrawals were 398.7 cubic meters as of 2021. Global water withdrawals Countries around the world withdraw huge volumes of water each year from sources such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and groundwater. China has some of the largest annual total water withdrawals across the globe, at 581.3 billion cubic meters per year. In comparison, Mexico withdrew almost 90 billion cubic meters of water in 2021. Water scarcity Although roughly 70 percent of Earth's surface is covered with water, less than one percent of the planet's total water resources can be classified as accessible freshwater resources. Growing populations, increased demand, and climate change are increasingly putting pressure on these precious resources. This is expected to lead to global water shortages around the world. In the United States, the megadrought in the west has seen water levels of major reservoirs that provide water to millions of people plummet to record lows. In order to prevent severe droughts in water-stressed areas today and in the future, a more efficient use of water is essential.

Global crop production is causing pressure on water and land resources in many places. In addition to local resource management, the related environmental impacts of commodities traded along international supply chains need to be considered and managed accordingly. For this purpose, we calculate the specific water consumption and land use for the production of 160 crops and crop groups, covering most harvested mass on global cropland. We quantify indicators for land and water scarcity with high geospatial resolution. This facilitates spatially explicit crop-specific resource management and regionalized life cycle assessment of processed products. The vast cultivation of irrigated wheat, rice, cotton, maize, and sugar cane, which are major sources of food, bioenergy, and fiber, drives worldwide water scarcity. According to globally averaged production, substituting biofuel for crude oil would have a lower impact on water resources than substituting cotton for polyester. For some crops, water scarcity impacts are inversely related to land resource stress, illustrating that water consumption is often at odds with land use. On global average, maize performs better than rice and wheat in the combined land/water assessment. High spatial variability of water and land use related impacts underlines the importance of appropriate site selection for agricultural activities.

A commonly used method to examine the relationship between global water consumption and production is input--output analysis. However, between approximately 70% and 90% of freshwater consumption occurs in agricultural primary production, which is often represented by only a small percentage of the total number of sectors in input-output databases. In addition, the assessment of the impact of water consumption is usually carried out at the national level.

Therefore, the primary objective of the Input-Output Global Hybrid Analysis of Agricultural Primary Production (IO-GHAAP) approach was to improve assessments of water use and its impacts in input-output analysis.

To achieve this objective, a global spatial model of agricultural primary production MapSPAM (IFPRI, 2019) was integrated into the existing input-output database GLORIA (Lenzen et al., 2017, 2021) via prorating. The resulting IO-GHAAPP approach includes (1) a disaggregated input-output database and novel environmental extensions for freshwater consumption and scarcity. The IO-GHAAPP database consists of 150 categories and 164 regions, resulting in a total of 24,600 region-category combinations. Forty-two of the categories are dedicated to agricultural primary production (28%). In comparison, the source input--output data consist of 120 categories and 164 regions, resulting in a total of 19,680 region-category combinations, of which 14 are dedicated to agricultural primary production (12%).
