🌍💧 What is the economic damage of climate change? 💸 Over the past decade, 80-90% of documented natural disasters have been linked to floods, droughts, tropical cyclones, heat waves, and severe storms. As global warming intensifies the water cycle, we're witnessing more frequent and severe hydrological events, posing unprecedented challenges to communities and economies worldwide. 📊💸 Between 2002 and 2021, floods alone caused $832 billion in economic losses, while droughts accounted for $170 billion globally (UNESCO, 2024). Projections are even more alarming, indicating a doubling of flood-related costs worldwide and a tripling of drought costs in Europe (Dottori et al., 2018; Cammalleri et al., 2020). 🔍 Additionally, the Global Internal Displacement Database (2024) reports that countries such as Somalia, China, the Philippines, Pakistan, Kenya, Ethiopia, India, Brazil, Bangladesh, and Malaysia experienced the highest levels of displacement due to floods and droughts last year. These large-scale displacements not only disrupt the lives of millions but also place a significant strain on national economies. The movement of people often leads to lost productivity, increased demand for emergency aid, and long-term challenges in rebuilding infrastructure. At BWI, we're committed to leveraging cutting-edge technology and scientific expertise to support sustainable water resource management and enhance disaster resilience. Our hydrological services help to provide actionable insights and solutions, empowering organizations and governments to better predict, manage, and mitigate the economic and humanitarian impacts of these extreme weather events. 🌐 Let's work together to navigate the challenges of a changing climate and build a more resilient future. #ClimateChange #BWI #WaterManagement #WaterCrisis #DisasterResilience #SustainableFuture #EconomicImpact #Floods #Droughts #GlobalWarming #Hydrology #ClimateAction #Sustainability #Displacement #EnvironmentalImpact #ExtremeWeather #GlobalChallenges #ResilientCommunities

⚡ Will Water Shortage Constrain our Energy Future? 💦 The world’s energy and water systems are deeply interconnected. Energy generation processes, such as hydropower and plant cooling, rely heavily on water. Conversely, the water sector depends significantly on energy, particularly electricity, for extracting, treating, and transporting water resources. 📈💵 With ongoing economic development, the demand for both energy and water continues to rise, as they are fundamental pillars of economic growth. 🌐🔋The International Energy Agency (2012) projects that by 2035, global energy use will increase by 35%, leading to a 15% rise in water use and an 85% surge in consumption. 🌡️🌊This close interrelationship makes energy systems increasingly vulnerable to climate change. Rising temperatures in rivers and lakes complicate cooling processes and extreme weather events make river discharge more unpredictable, affecting electricity production and energy output estimates. 🌏🚫🔋For instance, in 2013, water shortages led to thermal power plant shutdowns in India, reduced energy output in U.S. power plants, and threatened hydropower capacities in Sri Lanka, Brazil, and China (World Bank, 2014). 💡💧To address these challenges, integrated investment and water management strategies are crucial. Our hydrological solutions can provide run-of-river hydropower plants with enhanced water flow measurements, early detection of issues, and prevent consequent production losses, among others. 🌐🔍Visit our website to learn more about how our solutions correlate with hydro-energy production: https://lnkd.in/eh5qpu6u. #BWI #Hydrology #WaterManagement #Water #Sustainability #Eau #Hydrologie #Hydropower #Electricity #ClimateChange #ClimateResilience #Hydropowerplants #RiverDischarge #HydrologyForecasting

🌍 Global Water Use in Agriculture: Essential Insights 🌾 In most regions worldwide, over 70% of freshwater is used for agriculture. By 2050, with the global population projected to reach 9 billion, agricultural production needs to increase by 50%, and water withdrawals by 15%, to meet food demands. Water use in agriculture varies significantly across income groups: 🌱 Low-income countries (Ethiopia): 90% of all water withdrawals go to agriculture. 🌱 Lower-middle-income countries (India): 88% of water withdrawals are used for agriculture, with only 4% for industry. 🌱 Upper-middle-income countries (China): Agriculture accounts for 66% of water use, while industry uses 16%. 🌱 High-income countries (United States): Agriculture uses 44% of water withdrawals, and industry uses 39%.   💡 Currently, only 20-50% of water withdrawn actually reaches the crops, with significant losses occurring before it gets to farms and during farm application. This presents numerous opportunities for improved water management, which is a shared responsibility.   👨🏻🌾 Agriculture heavily relies on river water for activities, and most of this water is used for irrigation. Inefficient water pumping practices, particularly over-extraction during low river discharge, exacerbate water scarcity and negatively impact ecosystem health.   💧 At BWI, we provide advanced hydrological services, such as river discharge and water level monitoring and forecasting, to help manage finite water resources effectively. Our decision support system optimises pumping times during low river discharge, minimising water usage and maintaining lower pollutant concentrations, thus ensuring sustainable water availability for agriculture and positively impacting water quality.
