Numerical experiments combining climate model outputs, water budgets, and socioeconomic information along digitized river networks demonstrate that (i) a large proportion of the world's population is currently experiencing water stress and (ii) rising water demands greatly outweigh greenhouse warming in defining the state of global water systems to 2025.

A quick, easy methodology is described for determining flows to protect the aquatic resources in both warmwater and coldwater streams, based on their average flow, revealing that the condition of the aquatic habitat is remarkably similar on most of the streams carrying the same portion of the average flow.
