Water exploitation has increased notably in the world during the last 250 years since the onset of industrialisation. The relationships between economic processes and water use are complex and include many interwoven drivers such as: technological development, dietary choices and food production, climate change, demographic change, and policy reforms, among others. Ensuring food, water, and energy for the growing population remains a common global challenge.

• Historical and long-term overview of the relations between income growth, water use, and technological development;

• Impact of climate change on water productivity, including inter- and intra-annual variations;
• Urban reforms and surveys on the attitude of citizens towards private and public mitigation and preservation measures;
• Regional, national, and global comparative case-studies;
• International trade, migration, conf licts, and the globalisation of water;
• Methodological and empirical challenges of building future scenarios.
