  1. MENA Water Outlook 2050 Water Scarcity and Adaptation Options Peter Droogers, Walter Immerzeel, Petra Hellegers Jippe Hoogeveen, BekeleDebeleNegewo

  2. Study Design • Objectives • Detailed water supply and demand analysis 2010-2050 • Identification of potential options to overcome water shortage • Steps • Climate and other change projections • Hydrological impact model • Water resources supply/demand analysis • Cost and benefits adaptation options • Limitations • Large scale so simplifications, generalizations

  3. WEAP Modeling Framework • WEAP modeling setup • 22 countries • Streams, Reservoirs, Groundwater • Irrigation, Domestic, Industry • 2000-2050 • 3 climate change models • Resultsfromhydrological model

  11. ADAPTATION Strategies

  12. Water MarginalCost Curves • Closingsupply-demand gap: • Increasing the productivity • Expandingsupply • Reducingdemand • Water marginalcosts curves • Assumptions: • Net present value (US$ 2010)

  13. Strategies • Increasing the productivity: • A: Improved agricultural practice (including crop varieties) • B: Increased reuse of water from domestic and industry • C: Increased reuse of irrigated agriculture • Expanding supply: • D: Expanding reservoir capacity (small scale) • E: Expanding reservoir capacity (large scale) • F: Desalination by means of using solar energy • G: Desalination by means of reverse osmosis • Reducing demand: • H: Reduce irrigated areas • I: Reduce domestic and industrial supply

  14. Strategies (increase productivity) • A: Improved agricultural practice (including crop varieties) • Typical examples: • drip and sprinkler irrigation • no-till farming • improved drainage • utilization of the best available germplasm or other seed development • optimizing fertilizer use • innovative crop protection technologies • extension services • Costs • US$ 0.01 per m3 • = US$ 100 per ha per year • Note: costs can vary substantially. E.g.: • Egypts IrrigationImprovement Project (IIP)  US$ 100 per ha per year • 2030 Water Resources Group  US$ 0.02 – 0.03 per m3

  15. Strategies (increase productivity) • B: Increased reuse of water from domestic and industry • Costs • US$ 0.30 per m3 • Note: costs can vary substantially. • What to do with reused water (industry, irrigation)

  16. Strategies (increase productivity) • C: Increased reuse of irrigated agriculture • Assumptions • Reuse only for agriculture • No water treatment system • Only operational and investment costs • 50 mm per year • Costs • Total: US$ 0.04 per m3 • 50% annualized capital costs of investment • 50% operational costs (maintenance, some pumping)

  17. Strategies (expanding supply) • D: Expanding reservoir capacity (small scale) • E: Expanding reservoir capacity (large scale) • Costs • 0.03 $/m3 for small scale • 0.05 $/ m3 for large scale • Note: costs can vary substantially • sand dams in Kitui District, Kenya  0.04 $/m3 • Aslantis Dam, Turkey  0.035 $/m3

  18. Strategies (expanding supply) • F: Desalinisation using solar energy (CSP) • G: Desalination using reverse osmosis • Assumptions • Details see presentation by Fichtner • Costs • CSP 0.70 $/m3 to 0.35 $/m3 in 2030 and 2050 • Reverse osmosis 0.50 $/m3 • Note: costs can vary substantially • Especially energy Reverse Osmoses Multi Effect Distillation

  19. SWRO = Sea Water Reverse Osmoses MSF = Multi Stage Flash MED = Multi Effect Distillation

  20. Strategies (reducing demand) • H: Reduce irrigated areas • Assumptions • Reduce irrigated areas by 10% • Costs • 0.10 $/m3 (Value of irrigation water (Water Productivity) between 0.05 and 0.15 $/m3. • Note: costs can vary substantially. E.g.: • Crops • Irrigationmethod • Climate

  27. Conclusions • Study • Advanced hydrological-water resources approach • In country variability • Monthly approach • Changes: climate, GDP, domestic, industry, agriculture • Scopingstudy • Overall results • Renewable water resources 20% reduction • Water shoratge 220 km3 (range 104-306) • Water shortage due to climate change 14% (range 1-35) • Costs of adaptation US$ 47 billion (range 12-98) • Costs of adaptation 2050: 2.5% to 0.3% of GDP (current to 2050 GDP) • Adaptation is possible, ifpolicies are put in placenow!

  28. ComparisonOther Studies • “Economics of adaptation to climate change” (World Bank, 2010): • Developingcountries: 0.2 percent GDP (2030) • Developingcountries: 0.12 percent GDP (2050) • MENA: US$ 2.5 – 3.6 billion per year (2050) • “2030 Water Resources Group” • MENA: increase in demand: 99 km3 (2030) • Making the Most of Scarcity (World Bank, 2007): • MENA: 1 – 3.6% of GDP (currently) • AQAU-CSP (DLR) • Water shortage: 50 km3 (current) • Water shortage: 150 km3 (2050) 2050: Shortage (km3): 220 (104-306) Costs (billion US$): 47 (12-98) GDP (%): 0.3 – 2.5

  29. Way Forward • Water shortage: • Unconventional decisions needed • Food, environment, tourism, industry? • Subsidies on water-food-energy • Water-energy nexus • Long and short term decisions • Detailed case studies (country, topic)
