1 The State-of-the-Global Water System: Moving toward an Operational View of World Water Resources Charles J. Vörösmarty, Balázs Fekete, Pamela Green, Richard Lammers, and Alex Prusevitch Spring AGU: Union Session U44A Ft. Lauderdale, FL 28 May 2008
2 Contributions from Earth System Science In situ networks Operational satellite-based monitoring of the hydrosphere Simulation models and data analysis tools (NWP-4DDA, GCMs, RCMs, ESMs) ) creating new opportunties to view the global water crisis to inform policy and improve management
3 Humans Interacting w/ the Global Water Cycle-- The Picture Today 84% 16% of population Driest half Wettest half Vörösmarty et al. (2005), Millennium Assessment, Conditions & TrendsWorking Group The Social Geophysical Science High resolution Data Picture mapping shows ca. 20% population w/ no access to renewable water supply Importance of upstream source areas: note Amazon/S. Asian contrast Notion of tradeoffs w/in basin
4 The Global Water System: Inter-Disciplinary Perspectives are Essential Central tenet Humans now a key determinant of the state and trajectory of the global water cycle PHYSICAL COMPONENTS e.g. moisture transport, precipitation, river discharge, water storage WATER CYCLING BIOLOGICAL & BIOGEOCHEMICAL COMPONENTS e.g. species richness, habitat quality, water quality HUMAN COMPONENTS e.g. via water related institutions, water engineering, water use in several sectors ESSP
