Guidelines for the socio-economic analysis: issues and indicators (original) (raw)

The document outlines a framework for analyzing the socio-economic dimensions of water demand, focusing on how population and socio-economic changes affect future water needs. It stresses the complexity of predicting these demands due to various interrelated factors, including climate and land use. The aim is to develop a Demand Water Prediction System (DWPS) to enhance sustainable water management and address the challenges posed by water scarcity, ultimately raising awareness of the socio-economic implications associated with water management.
