  1. 1. What is the meaning of a circulating resource? • What percentage of water is fresh? • Where is most of our freshwater? Is it easily accessible? • What is fossil water? • How does water circulate (use figure 1 to help you describe the process)?

  2. 2. How Much RFWR is Available? • How is RFWR calculated? • What is green water? What is blue water? • How are runoff and river discharge related to the maximum RFWR? • Can humans use all of the RFWR? Why or why not?

  3. 3. How are the World Water Resources Assessed? • How is the water scarcity index calculated? • What does W stand for? • What does S stand for? • What does Q stand for? • What are your group’s opinions about the virtual water trade?

  4. 4. How Will Water Use Change in the Future? • What accounts for the most water consumption globally? • How will recycling technology affect our predictions of water supply and demand? • What concerns do developing countries have in the future?

  5. 5. What Effects Will Climate Change Have on RFWR? • How will sea level rise affect groundwater? • How will willevapotranspiration, precipitation, transpiration, and river discharge likely be affected?

  6. 6. How Can Hydrological Science Help Solve World Water Issues? • What type of data is missing from global water use? • How does hydrology play a key role in policy?
