This form is used for the policy intervention part of a model component. The infobox from the introduction page will be displayed here, with exception of the references. The page starts with a description of the baseline plus figure, followed by a table with policy interventions. The page ends with examples of policy interventions, text plus figures. The 'policy interventions' themselves must be entered separately via the Form:PolicyInterventionForm.
Description. Baseline and Policy intervention examples:
<div class="page_standard"> ==Baseline developments== In baseline scenarios, water use is typically projected to increase rapidly. This can be illustrated in the baseline scenario study for the [[OECD Environmental Outlook to 2050 (2012) project|OECD Environmental Outlook to 2050]] ([[OECD, 2012]]), in which water demand is projected to increase by 53% globally, mostly due to a high increase in non-agricultural water use (the figure below). However, this baseline scenario did not consider irrigated area expansion, which is expected to further increase demand for irrigation water (the figure below top left). As a result of the increase in total water demand, and a change in water availability due to climate change, the number of people living in medium to severely water stressed basins will increase by 80%, according to this baseline (the figure below top right). Expansion of rain-fed and irrigated croplands together with increased crop yields are projected in studies on the future of the global food system ([[Fischer et al., 2005]]; [[Molden, 2007]]; [[Alexandratos and Bruinsma, 2012]]; [[Gerten et al., 2013]]). However, irrigation expansion and related increases in crop yields may not be feasible because of water scarcity (the figure below bottom). {{DisplayPolicyInterventionFigureTemplate|{{#titleparts: {{PAGENAME}}|1}}|Baseline figure}} ==Policy interventions== Several water-related policy interventions can be assessed with IMAGE-LPJmL, including improved rainwater management, improved irrigation efficiency, increasing storage capacity and land-use related interventions. For example, Rost et al. ([[Rost et al., 2009|2009]]) evaluated the effect of improved rainwater management on crop production by decreasing soil evaporation and increasing rainwater harvesting. Biemans et al. ([[Biemans, 2012|2012]]) tested the effect of improved irrigation efficiency and expansion of storage capacity on irrigation water demand and available sources of supply for five river basins on the Indian subcontinent (the figure below). [[Jägermeyr et al., 2017]] concluded that 41% of current irrigation withdrawals depend on water at the expense of the environmental, but that improvements in irrigation efficiencies and water management can avoid these negative impacts. {{DisplayPolicyInterventionFigureTemplate|{{#titleparts: {{PAGENAME}}|1}}|Policy intervention figure}} In combination with the crop model, the effect of land-use related policy interventions could be addressed, such as changes in crop types or improved land and water allocation (e.g. [[Bijl et al., 2018a]]). With the module for Environmental Flow Requirements (EFRs), impacts of prioritizing EFRs on other water users can be analyzed, and vice versa ([[De Vos et al., 2021]] and figure below). {{DisplayFigureLeftOptimalTemplate|Policy intervention figure Water/Policy issues}} {{PIEffectOnComponentTemplate }} </div>
