Water Scarcity in Asia and its Long-Term Water and Border Security Implications for Australia

Abstract

A review of the current literature on the sustainability of natural resources provided several findings that have critical relevance to the motivation of this study. One was that none of the studies reviewed were related to the topic of this paper. Another was that although water scarcity statistics exist for the regions considered, few studies have considered longer term implications for proximate countries such as Australia in terms of the data.
