“…A large number of econometric studies of water demand have been conducted over the last years (Smith et al, 1983;Ogg and Gollehon, 1989;Hanemann, 1998;Renwick and Green, 2000;Jain et al, 2001;Brekke et al, 2002;Reynaud, 2003;Scheierling et al, 2006;Kostas and Chrysostomos, 2006;Alvisi et al, 2007;Olmstead et al, 2007;Babel et al, 2007;Ghiassi et al, 2008;Herrera et al, 2010;Dziegielewski and Baumann, 2011;Abildtrup et al, 2013;Polycarpou and Zachariadis, 2013;Koutiva and Makropoulos, 2016).…”

This paper analyses analysis current and future dependence of agriculture, industry, oil and gas sector on water supply in Kazakhstan under varying socioeconomic and climate change scenarios. To conduct the scenarios analysis, a multiple linear model was used; the model has been widely used to examine complex water systems in the water resource planning sector all around the world. The paper results show that by 2050 total water demand under normal weather conditions could increase from 20188.62 m 3 in 2015 to 23010.18 m 3 under sustainable use scenario, to 26794.85 m 3 under current trends (CT) baseline scenario, and up to 30220.46 m 3 under the more resource intensive scenario, however, the future water demand may be affected by environmental changes. The largest change (relative to the CT scenario) in total demand of 32413.18 m 3 would result from the combined effect of the temperature increase and decrease in precipitation. More than 55% of this change would be in agriculture sector. Through exploring water scenarios, this paper could assist Kazakhstani resource managers and policymakers in designing more effective eco-environment management plans and strategies in the face of climate change.

“…With the world population recently eclipsing 7 billion, the availability of clean drinking water is not meeting the demands of the population [1]. Whilst water conservation and dam constructions have provided temporary relief, there are still roughly 2.8 billion people worldwide that live in regions of water shortage [2].…”

Desalination and Water Treatment

Current methods of inland concentrate disposal include surface water discharge, deep well injection and evaporation ponds. These methods are unsustainable and are limited by high capital cost and non-ubiquitous application. This paper gives an overview of potential alternatives and technologies available that can reduce the concentrate formed via reducing its volume or recycling. Potential alternatives explored have been electrodialysis, mechanical evaporation, VSEP and WAIV. All technologies have potential for use in areas distant from the coast and have better performance than currents management techniques. This paper reviews multiple studies that have explored alternate technologies for concentrate disposal in terms of economics and feasibility. Of the 5 case studies presented, VSEP shows promise as a secondary system of treatment via enhancing percentage recovery; higher permeate flux and lower operational costs.
