Hi User:Prototyperspective, I've now moved your recently added content on Air-capture over oceans and on Atmospheric water generators on land to water resources. This kind of "fundamental research", out of the box thinking, novel ideas probably fits better there as it's unlikely to be a solution for water scarcity issues for a long time to come. Keep also in mind that we should focus on secondary sources. EMsmile ( talk) 11:29, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
I've removed this student-added content that was more essay-like, full of opinions and vague statements. In my opinion it's not WP:DUE. I wouldn't be opposed to adding a sentence or two about using indigenous knowledge to address water scarcity but it needs to be factual and well referenced. It's possible that Chapter 4 of the IPCC AR 6 report has relevant content but I couldn't find it yet. From what I can see that report focuses more on water security which is why I have cited from it in the water security article. Indigenous knowledge might be able to help with addressing physical water scarcity but I haven't seen clear factual content on that yet. If someone has it, it could be added in but would need to be brief to be in-line with WP:DUE. EMsmile ( talk) 13:50, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
Further improvements can be made through legislative action and more active involvement of communities, especially those who are affected by water scarcity. Indigenous communities have navigated the avenues of water availability long before modern capitalist methods of water use and extraction. [1] It would be valuable to learn from Indigenous and local knowledge when creating regulations, adaptations, as well as greater access to water. [2] [3] It is important to recognize that the commodification of resources such as water, is rooted in settler-colonial perspectives, and much of western science works to uphold these problematic perspectives. [2] [1] A space where both modern western science can coexist with traditional practices of water and land management could open doors to more sustainable water practices. [4] Using Two-Eyed Seeing, an inclusive implementation of both indigenous knowledge and practices alongside western science, can help change the way we approach and assess water scarcity. [2] [5] IPCC, Chapter 4, suggests working alongside Indigenous and local communities to address regional issues surrounding water scarcity and hydrological changes can show effective mitigation. [6] Focusing on large-scale implementation rather than community-based, regional-scale implementation can lead to complications as well as unneeded intervention and conflict. [3]

Regarding this sentence added by User:ASRASR recently: "A third dimension was introduced involving ecological water scarcity and applied to assessments in China.": I am not sure this is really a new third dimension: It's just a subset of what other authors have called "physical water scarcity", isn't it? See the section on physical water scarcity where we say: "Physical water scarcity occurs when natural water resources are insufficient to meet all demands, including that needed for ecosystems to function effectively." If you think the term ecological scarcity is important to be introduced then I suggest this is included in the section on physical water scarcity. Most authors seem to only distinguish physical and economic water scarcity, and the ecological scarcity is part of physical scarcity (as far as I can see). But we could explain this in more detail at that location if needed (rather than in the section called "More sophisticated indicators"). EMsmile ( talk) 13:02, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
