Fig. 3: The effect of adaptation pathways on water demand for irrigated wheat production (1980–2080).
From: Spatial adaptation pathways to reconcile future water and food security in the Indus River basin

a, b Total historical water withdrawals in km3/year and projected future water demand for the adaptation pathways. c, d Relative historical water demand per year in m3 per ton of wheat produced and projected future water demand for the adaptation pathways. The dots represent the individual simulated water demand per year for each of the GCMs (i.e., four dots per pathway per year). The lines represent the smoothed average of all GCMs using a locally estimated scatterplot smoothing (LOESS) function.
