WHAT Water use in Catalonia
HOW MuSIASEM 4 water
WHY Water
3. Water MuSIASEM for Water Case Studies
Is not... ...it becomes Energy and Water
Lack of know
how results in
exclusion
Unbalancing character in quantitative terms
Lack of statistical data on water use
Unsuitable scales of material studies
Issue of:
Isolated Studies
Suitable methodologies ?
Do not include Issues of Scale
Water characteristics
Suitable Definition?
Water Functions

6. Water MuSIASEM for Water Case Studies
Flow/Fund System design Grammar
Water as Flow
and Fund GG (1971) MuSIASEM Examples

14. Conclusions
Reclaiming a
place for water
• Not inclusion due to unsuitable methods
• Lack of suitable definition of water
• Definition of a suitable scale and Scope of Analysis
• Expansion of concepts of Flow and Fund Water also as Ecological
Fund
• Better conceptualization change institutional arrangments.
15. Conclusions
Water and
Complexity
• MuSIASEM allows multi Scope-Spatial analysis
• Comparability of Scales needed
• Other methods complement analysis
Metabolic
Patterns
• So-Called developed countries water use goes for Production processes
(90%)
• The paradox of agriculture dependence

Some author have made any kind of realtion between the fulfilment of the human needs and the creation of conflicts. If we look at the concept of Scarcity it comes because the desires as highre than the resources: Two questions: How is the cycle? Is water becoming scarce?
