Food demand displaced by global refugee migration influences water use in already water stressed countries
L. Bertassello, M. F. Müller, et al.
Millions of refugees have relocated to water-scarce countries, impacting local water security. This research by Leonardo Bertassello, Marc F. Müller, Adam Wiechman, Gopal Penny, Marta Tuninetti, and Michèle C. Müller-Itten reveals that refugee displacements have significantly increased water stress, suggesting that minor adjustments in food supply and resettlement procedures could alleviate pressures on these vulnerable regions.
