Abstract

Access to water and sanitation for all is a part of the recently (September 2015) approved Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, natural constraints, climate change and the increase of population forecasts will challenge this goal and how it interacts with others. In particular, domestic water will compete with additional water demands essential for the achievement of other goals (i.e. SGD2 on zero huger or SDG14 life below water). We assess how future domestic water demand in cities will interact with other SDGs. First, we use an evaluation framework to identify positive and negative relations. We then calculate the required water to meet this demand and compare it with the performance of other water-dependent goals. Our results show that larger increases in domestic water demand will happen in countries underperforming in other water-dependent goals. How urban areas deal with water resources will shape these relations. Crucially, urban water decisions will determine the sustainability of global water resources and, ultimately, the performance of all SDGs.

We assume constant demand for other water uses to focus on the effect SDG6 on other SDGs.

Available data: period 1995–2006.

7.5 l per person represent a tolerable level of risk. It does not account for health and well- being-related demands outside normal domestic use, excluding water use in health care facilities, food production, economic activity or amenity use (Bartram and Howard 2003; WHO 2011; UNESCO and WWAP 2012).

Human water annual use for food in Sub-Saharan Africa: 700 m³/person; North America: 1800 m³/person (Mekonnen and Hoekstra 2011).

Data on drinking water and sanitation may indicate distances to water sources, overlooking the reality given by affordability, reliability, quality and quantity (Euzen and Morehouse 2011; Smiley 2013).
