Abstract
⺠Simulated 60-year time series of domestic, manufacturing, and thermoelectric water use. ⺠Global domestic water use has continuously increased driven by growing population and rising prosperity. ⺠Transformation processes and policy regulations have slowed down and reduced global domestic and industrial water uses. ⺠Our results imply that the maximum of global water withdrawals has not been reached yet. ⺠To reach the MDGs, secure water supply and reduction of untreated wastewater are among the most important actions to be undertaken.
