''The increases projected in agricultural , energy and industry production households lead to an increasing demand for water. At the same time, climate change also impacts the water cycle. While overall climate change is projected to lead to more precipitation, geographical patterns show changes to both dryer and wetter gridcells. As a result, the water balance improves in some regions, while it deteriorates in other regions. The pattern of these changes is very uncertain. In combination with increased demand, however, the number of people confronted with serious water stress is projected to increase significantly.'' | ''The increases projected in agricultural , energy and industry production households lead to an increasing demand for water.
