Generally, developing nations are more severely affected by these shortages, being located in (semi-)arid locations. However, the recent 2012 drought in the United Kingdom illustrates that even more developed nations can still suffer water shortages, with potential impacts on livelihoods and the economy. It has been shown that globally during the period 1960-2000, more people - from 27% to 43% of the global population from 1960 to 2000 - have been pushed into more water-stressed situations, mainly due to increasing water demand predominantly from the agricultural sector (Wada et al., 2011) which accounts for c. 85% of the total global consumptive water withdrawal (\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 et al., 2008). On top of this backdrop, are the potential impacts of climate, population and social change in the coming decades. Current model projections of global climate change indicate a general warming trend by the 2050s, particularly over the Mediterranean and North Africa region (\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 et al., 2004; \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 and \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587, 2007; \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 et al., 2009; \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 et al., 2007). In addition, rainfall totals in this region are expected to become either lower or more sporadic (\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 et al., 2004; \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 et al., 2007), with a concomitant increase in drought frequency (\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 et al., 2009; \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 et al., 2007). It is recognised however that there is considerable scatter in model results, varying not only by model type but also by the simulation resolution (\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 and \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587, 2007). Despite this, the general warming and drying trend over the Mediterranean Basin is still generally observed. With respect to global population, general estimate to 2050 are that the population will increase from seven billion at present to between c. 8 - 10.6 billion (United Nations, 2010), with a large increase also expected around the Mediterranean. An additional consideration is that as societies develop and wealth increases, household (domestic) water consumption is generally expected to rise (Alcamo et al., 2007; \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 and Matovelle, 2010) as is agricultural water use as a result of increasing demand for more water intensive products and the effects of increased evapotranspiration demand from crops (Alcamo et al., 2007). Due to increased temperatures, tourism, which is key to some of the case studies being examined here (e.g. Syros and Sardinia) may decrease as temperatures becomes uncomfortable (\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 et al., 2009). There are some potential benefits. For example, it is predicted that the growing season through the Mediterranean will lengthen, and may result in increased yield (\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 et al., 2009), mainly in the winter months. The general trend from the above discussion is that as global freshwater supply drops, global demand increases. Globally, there is much variation however. For example, from analysis of 12 global climate models, (Milly et al., 2005) show that while areas such are North America and Eurasia show up to 40% increase in streamflow volume, southern Europe and the Middle East are expected to experience up to a 30% decrease in streamflows, with significant impacts for the local economy and ecosystems. (Alcamo et al., 2007) using the WaterGAP model to simulate the physical and socio-economic impacts of future global change predict either a decrease of water stress by up to 29% or an increase of up to 75% depending on the scenario and the basin. (Alcamo et al., 2007) show that where water stress decreases, this is mainly due to increasing precipitation, while the main cause of increasing stress is growing water withdrawals as a result of income increases and not population increases (which was not as important as improving lifestyles from income increases). In fact, some authors have reported that in the near future, it will be population growth and economic development, not climate change, that will be the main driver that increase water stress generally (Vorosmarty et al., 2000). Likewise, (\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 et al., 2008) estimate that global water withdrawals (i.e. human-driven impacts) may increase from 3800 to over 6000 km3 yr-1, however the amount of increase depends on the socio-economic development scenario that is modelled (taken from the IPCC SRES scenarios). (\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 and Alcamo, 2011) show that river basins in southern Europe are the most vulnerable to climate change, and will become far more water stressed than at present. The Mediterranean region has also been described as a global change 'hotspot' and may suffer some of the worst impacts resulting from this change. The impacts of increasing water stress are potentially severe. (Alcamo et al., 2007) estimate that global industrial water demand will increase in response to increasing electricity generation as development improves lifestyles in developing countries. However, if the combined effects of climate change and socio-economic growth are such that overall supply decreases, then the industrial sector may not be able to meet the increase in electricity demand, hampering growth and development. Also, as agricultural demand increases due to population growth and climate change (increasing temperatures are likely to increase the evaporative demand from plants, increasing water requirements, (Alcamo et al., 2007)), there is the potential for widespread food shortages unless more efficient irrigation technologies are widely adopted. It is clearly important that a better understanding of global and local water availability, and the potential impacts to local development, is required. This element of the WASSERMed Project, Integrated Modelling of Water Related Security Threats, aims to better quantify the local water balance in five case study areas, together with addressing the wider socio-economic implications of changes to the water balance. Through the Mediterranean, just some of the likely consequences of global change are: lower or more sporadic rainfall totals; increased population; improving lifestyles; increased crop evapotranspiration; lower streamflows; and reduced recharge to aquifers. This work has the potential to better inform local policy makers, and make them aware of the options available to them and of the potential impact of these options. Thus, those options or policy measures can be identified which are most likely to have overall long-term beneficial impacts, and to avoid those that are likely to be detrimental. .", "snippet_links": [{"key": "every-person", "type": "definition", "offset": [72, 84]}, {"key": "distribution-of", "type": "clause", "offset": [142, 157]}, {"key": "the-global", "type": "definition", "offset": [203, 213]}, {"key": "water-shortages", "type": "clause", "offset": [302, 317]}, {"key": "affected-by", "type": "definition", "offset": [367, 378]}, {"key": "located-in", "type": "definition", "offset": [402, 412]}, {"key": "the-united-kingdom", "type": "clause", "offset": [472, 490]}, {"key": "potential-impacts", "type": "definition", "offset": [575, 592]}, {"key": "during-the-period", "type": "clause", "offset": [657, 674]}, {"key": "the-total", "type": "clause", "offset": [945, 954]}, {"key": "change-in", "type": "clause", "offset": [1101, 1110]}, {"key": "current-model", "type": "definition", "offset": [1131, 1144]}, {"key": "climate-change", "type": "clause", "offset": [1167, 1181]}, {"key": "a-general", "type": "clause", "offset": [1191, 1200]}, {"key": "in-addition", "type": "clause", "offset": [1398, 1409]}, {"key": "model-results", "type": "clause", "offset": [1705, 1718]}, {"key": "model-type", "type": "definition", "offset": [1740, 1750]}, {"key": "the-general", "type": "clause", "offset": [1840, 1851]}, {"key": "with-respect-to", "type": "clause", "offset": [1935, 1950]}, {"key": "at-present", "type": "definition", "offset": [2052, 2062]}, {"key": "united-nations", "type": "clause", "offset": [2095, 2109]}, {"key": "additional-consideration", "type": "clause", "offset": [2183, 2207]}, {"key": "water-consumption", "type": "clause", "offset": [2280, 2297]}, {"key": "agricultural-water-use", "type": "definition", "offset": [2384, 2406]}, {"key": "case-studies", "type": "clause", "offset": [2631, 2643]}, {"key": "potential-benefits", "type": "clause", "offset": [2787, 2805]}, {"key": "for-example", "type": "clause", "offset": [2807, 2818]}, {"key": "growing-season", "type": "clause", "offset": [2845, 2859]}, {"key": "winter-months", "type": "definition", "offset": [2980, 2993]}, {"key": "north-america", "type": "clause", "offset": [3258, 3271]}, {"key": "middle-east", "type": "definition", "offset": [3354, 3365]}, {"key": "local-economy", "type": "definition", "offset": [3463, 3476]}, {"key": "economic-impacts", "type": "clause", "offset": [3575, 3591]}, {"key": "global-change", "type": "clause", "offset": [3602, 3615]}, {"key": "depending-on-the", "type": "clause", "offset": [3699, 3715]}, {"key": "population-growth", "type": "definition", "offset": [4130, 4147]}, {"key": "economic-development", "type": "clause", "offset": [4152, 4172]}, {"key": "global-water", "type": "definition", "offset": [4331, 4343]}, {"key": "amount-of-increase", "type": "clause", "offset": [4442, 4460]}, {"key": "resulting-from", "type": "definition", "offset": [4853, 4867]}, {"key": "industrial-water", "type": "definition", "offset": [4987, 5003]}, {"key": "electricity-generation", "type": "clause", "offset": [5051, 5073]}, {"key": "developing-countries", "type": "definition", "offset": [5112, 5132]}, {"key": "industrial-sector", "type": "definition", "offset": [5260, 5277]}, {"key": "and-development", "type": "clause", "offset": [5355, 5370]}, {"key": "water-requirements", "type": "clause", "offset": [5550, 5568]}, {"key": "efficient-irrigation", "type": "clause", "offset": [5659, 5679]}, {"key": "water-availability", "type": "definition", "offset": [5785, 5803]}, {"key": "related-security", "type": "definition", "offset": [5935, 5951]}, {"key": "study-areas", "type": "clause", "offset": [6022, 6033]}, {"key": "changes-to-the", "type": "definition", "offset": [6101, 6115]}, {"key": "consequences-of", "type": "definition", "offset": [6182, 6197]}, {"key": "available-to", "type": "definition", "offset": [6490, 6502]}, {"key": "likely-to-have", "type": "clause", "offset": [6626, 6640]}], "samples": [{"hash": "4P7E4IOczCG", "uri": "/contracts/4P7E4IOczCG#context-and-background", "label": "Grant Agreement", "score": 22.7303218842, "published": true}], "hash": "8b94f90c73bccbb57b8a4708624491a8", "id": 5}, {"size": 2, "snippet": "ARTICLE 1\u200c", "snippet_links": [], "samples": [{"hash": "40MGjSt5H7K", "uri": "/contracts/40MGjSt5H7K#context-and-background", "label": "Consulting Agreement", "score": 24.1704311371, "published": true}], "hash": "6d8b0f20f7ddf5f85a90473be17d3718", "id": 6}, {"size": 1, "snippet": "The UK\u2019s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) in Pakistan intends to procure a service provider for third-party monitoring, beneficiary feedback and operational reviews of Aawaz1 II: Inclusion, Accountability, and Reducing Modern Slavery programme.

In developing the above mentioned Socio-economic development Framework, a bottom up approach was adopted, beginning with a workshop on the 26-27 July 2011, attended by the CEO and members of the SAR Man agent Committee (Mancom), respected experts, and academics in the industry, peers from other leading companies in the area of socio-economic development, and opinion makers in the field of policy development followed by further consultations with the recognised trade unions, the Executive Mayors and Executives of the Merafong and Matlosana Local Municipality and those of the OR Tambo District Municipality. These were followed by Community Briefings comprising NGOs, SMMEs, and other community formations like Youth Organisations in all the above-mentioned three municipalities.

The purpose of this MoU is to ensure that there is effective co-operation between An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na and the Central Statistics Office so that both organisations fulfil their respective statutory obligations for the production of crime statistics as set out in the Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na Act, 2005 and in accordance with the requirements of the Statistics Act, 1993. This agreement is an MoU and is not intended to create binding or legal obligations on either Party. The MoU is entered into on the understanding that it is subordinate to the relevant legislation, set out below under \u2018Legal Background\u2019 governing each Party. This MoU also sets out a shared understanding of the parties in relation to data protection issues that may arise and roles relating to the compilation, transfer and use of this data. The processing of personal data of data subjects is governed by the Statistics Act, 1993 and the Data Protection Acts 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation. The data controller for personal data is the Commissioner of An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na. When the data is transferred to the CSO, the CSO becomes the data controller for the data file it holds. An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na remains the controller for the data files it holds. It follows then that it is the responsibility of the CSO to report any data breaches relating to the data, once it is in its possession. The CSO and An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na will be responsible for fulfilling their respective obligations placed on data controllers by the GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 and for processing personal data in line with the data protection principles outlined under Article 5 GDPR and Section 71 of the Data Protection Act 2018. As data controllers, the parties shall take steps to ensure all access to the personal data processed for the purposes of this agreement is kept confidential and limit access to this personal data to only those individuals who are required to have access to the data in order to carry out their respective functions. The parties shall ensure that all such individuals who have access to the personal data are subject to an undertaking of confidentiality. The parties shall implement appropriate and adequate technical and organisational measures to safeguard the confidentiality, accuracy, integrity and availability of the personal data shared under this MoU. The parties shall guard against any unlawful access to, or processing of, this personal data (including unauthorised disclosure, deterioration or alteration of personal data), taking account of the nature of the personal data concerned, the accessibility of the data, the nature, scope, context and purpose of the processing, and any risks to the rights and freedoms of individuals arising from the processing concerned. The parties shall maintain administrative, physical and technical safeguards designed for the protection and security, confidentiality and integrity of the personal data being processed under this agreement. They shall review the administrative, physical and technical safeguards regularly and shall implement appropriate safeguards where more effective measures may be identified. The parties shall document the implementation of the technical and organisational measures in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. In the event of a breach relating to data, the CSO will inform the Data Protection Officer of An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na (via email to the Data Protection Unit mailbox \u2013 \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587.\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587@\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587.\u2587\u2587) and also inform An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na of the breach through the Joint Liaison Group (JLG). This notification will be made within 24 hours of the CSO becoming aware of the breach incident affecting data transferred to the CSO by An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na. The notification will describe, at minimum: \u2022 The nature of the personal data breach; \u2022 The categories and numbers of data subjects affected; \u2022 The categories and numbers of personal data records concerned; \u2022 The cause or suspected cause of the breach; \u2022 The likely consequences of the breach; \u2022 The measures taken or proposed to be taken to address the breach; and \u2022 The relevant contact persons for next steps regarding the breach. In addition, the CSO will refer to its own data breach procedures and may report the breach to the Data Protection Commission as appropriate. The Commissioner of An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na will not be held responsible for any loss, damage or injury caused as a result of such a breach. In the event of a breach relating to data, the CSO will inform An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na through the JLG, in advance, of any decision to issue a public statement in relation to the breach. Similarly, An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na will inform the CSO through the JLG, in advance, of any decision to issue a public statement in relation to the breach. An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na will not provide additional data or operational support in respect of the notification of data subjects in the event of a breach relating to CSO data. Each party shall in its capacity of data controller be responsible for fulfilling all the obligations placed on data controllers by the GDPR and the Data Protection Act, 2018 in respect of safeguarding the rights of data subjects concerning access to, and the correction, deletion or erasure of personal data. This shall enable the fulfilment by the data controller of its obligation to respond to requests by data subjects to exercise their rights under data protection legislation. Each party shall be responsible for providing the data subject with the information required to be given to the data subject under Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR. Freedom of Information Act, 2014 The Freedom of Information (FOI) Act, 2014 repealed the Freedom of Information Acts 1997 and 2003, and extended the scope of the legislation to include An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na as a public body within the meaning of the 2014 Act. Under Part 1(n) of Schedule 1 of the FOI Act, a number of agencies were defined as \u201cpartially included\u201d of which An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na is one. Schedule 1 of the FOI Act states that An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na is subject to the Act in relation to \u201cadministrative records relating to human resources, finance or procurement matters\" only. As a result, the FOI Act excludes operational policing matters and accordingly, the personal data shared that is processed by An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na under this Agreement is not encompassed within the scope of FOI as it pertains to An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na. In processing FOI requests, the CSO will have regard to the fact that the personal data processed under this arrangement may be the subject of certain restrictions and exemptions particularly where data is processed by An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na for the purposes of preventing, detecting, investigating and prosecuting criminal offences.", "snippet_links": [{"key": "transfer-of-data", "type":
