“…Data on the available water resources (Table 1) and predicted water demand (Table 2) were collected from the recent master plan for Incheon waterworks maintenance [20] and Byeon [21]. Our optimization scenarios were considered based on predicted water demand for the year 2025.…”

Ensuring stable and continuous water supplies in isolated but populated areas, such as islands, where the water supply is highly dependent on external factors, is crucial. Sudden loss of function in the water supply system can have enormous social costs. To strengthen water security and to meet multiple water demands with marginal quality, the optimized selection of locally available, diversified multi-water resources is necessary. This study considers a sustainable water supply problem of Yeongjong Island, 30 km west from Seoul, South Korea. The self-sufficiency of several locally available water resources is calculated for four different scenarios based on the volume and quality of the various water sources. Our optimization results show that using all the available local sources can address the water security issues of the island in the case of interruption in the existing supply system, which is fed from a single source of mainland Korea. This optimization framework can be useful for areas where water must be secured in the event of emergency.

“…Water scarcity prevails over West Africa during the dry season due to lack of rainfall, because rainfall is the major resource for replenishing the ground water. The state of water availability affects all the sectors which are highly dependent on water, namely agriculture, industry, and households (Van Beek et al 2011;Byeon 2014). Besides lack of rainfall, other factors such as variability and changes in climate, urbanization, and population growth have the potential to further intensify water scarcity, especially during the dry season (Short et al 2012;Mikovits et al 2014Mikovits et al , 2017Zeisl et al 2018).…”

This paper simulates the responses of water budget components to doubled CO2 (2 × 378 ppm) concentration in the atmosphere with atmospheric and oceanic surface warming of 2°C. Simulations employed version 4.7 of the Regional Climate Model of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP). Two six-year experiments were each repeated twice with the same model physics and parameterizations. The control experiment held the CO2 concentration at 378 ppm (no warming), while the other experiment specified doubled CO2 concentration and warming. The results showed a positive response (60-100% increase) to doubled CO2 for precipitation, runoff, and storage terms in Sierra Leone, Burkina Faso, Guinea Bissau, and the ocean area between 3 and 13°N. However, there was a negative response (up to 60%) for northern Senegal, southern Mali, and northern Nigeria. The reductions in water fluxes were observed mostly on the leeward side of the highlands. Evapotranspiration showed a negative response (1-20%) to doubled CO2 on the land north of 20°N. Burkina Faso and southern Mali responded oppositely to doubled CO2, despite their spatial proximity.
