WaterGAP contributes to the Intersectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project ISIMIP, [1] where consistent ensembles of model runs by a number of global hydrological models are generated to assess the impact of climate change and other anthropogenic stressors on freshwater resources world-wide.
A water gap is a gap that flowing water has carved through a mountain range or mountain ridge and that still carries water today. [1] Such gaps that no longer carry water currents are called wind gaps. Water gaps and wind gaps often offer a practical route for road and rail transport to cross the mountain barrier.

The Gateway Belief Model, which models the thought that communicating scientific consensus will impact belief in climate change and produce support for action. Most climate communication and research within the field is concerned with (1) the mechanisms related to the public's understanding/awareness of and perception of climate change which are intertwined with (2) personal cultural values ...
The Global Energy and Water Exchanges Project (abbreviated GEWEX, formerly named the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment from 1990 to 2012 [1]) is an international research project and a core project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP).
In a new report, DigDeep concluded that the water access gap costs the U.S. economy more than $8.5 billion every year. George McGraw is the CEO of California's DigDeep, which is a human rights ...
