right: projection for 2050 based on Sustainability Eventually scenario, median of GCM-RCM combinations.
Yellow: low water stress (withdrawals-to-availability ratio: 0–0.2);
orange: mild water stress (withdrawals-to-availability ratio: 0.2–0.4);
red: severe water stress (withdrawals-to-availability ratio: > 0.4).
