Increase in water demand by increasing temperature 1998.08.15

The National Land Agency announced a paper on water resources for the 98 fiscal year. This is the first analysis of the effects of global environmental changes on water resources. As the average temperature rises by 3 degrees C, water demand increases by 1.2-3.2%. If the increase is 2%, the new 340 million tons and 14 average dams will be required for daily water supply. In 1995, the amount of energy consumed in the development and use of water resources was 109 trillion kilocalories. It is said that it corresponds to the consumption fuel of 10 million vehicles of four wheels.
