Global Environmental Change: Human and Policy Dimensions

Summary
The authors used data from the Household Water InSecurity Experiences to statistically analyze how widespread the need for water borrowing is, the need for water borrowing, and how perceived socioeconomic status plays a role in water borrowing. The authors found that water borrowing occurs globally, unmet water needs result in water borrowing, and water borrowing is most common among households that reported the lowest perceived socioecomonic status.

Methods Used:

  • The authors — 1) used data from the Household Water InSecurity Experiences study to estimate prevalence of water borrowing practices using a household water insecurity score; and 2) statistically compared how self-perceived socioeconomic status correlated to the need to borrow water, how prevalent borrowing water is worldwide, and if returning water to the lender is expected.

Sources Used:

  • Household Water InSecurity Experience (HWISE) (Young Et Al., 2019); WHO and UNICEF; 2017.; Additional sources cited in the publication.
