This chapter covers the basics of how much water is available in different regions, with a focus on hydrologic variability, especially drought. We address questions like these:
- How much water is available for human use, and how does this vary across the world?
- How do floods and droughts affect water availability?
- What can we learn about drought from the paleoclimate record?
