Water stress caused by over abstraction is often a local and temporary phenomenon, associated with urban areas, irrigated agriculture or tourist hotspots in the summer months. Such areas tend to represent a high economic value and an associated high sensitivity to water stress. Impacts of over abstraction in such areas can be aggravated by droughts. The impacts are aggravated even more by the continuing trend of concentration of population and economic activities in urban areas.
