Short Summary

This paper conducts a bibliometric analysis of 582 research papers from Scopus and Google Scholar to synthesize existing knowledge on the impact of climate variability on water availability and quality, considering population growth, and to identify future research directions.

Objective

• To analyze the impact of climate change on water availability and quality, considering population growth, by conducting a comprehensive bibliometric study of existing literature.
• To provide an in-depth summary of research in this domain to guide future research and policy formulation for mitigating water stress.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Global (bibliometric review of international literature).
• Temporal Scale: Literature published up to 2024.

Methodology and Data

• Models used: VOSviewer 1.6.20, R Studio, Biblioshiny (for bibliometric analysis).
• Data sources: Bibliographic data from 582 research papers (journals) retrieved from Scopus and Google Scholar databases, using the key terms "climate change" and "water availability".

Main Results

• The bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive summary of research trends and themes concerning climate variability, water availability, and population growth.
• It identifies key areas and probable directions for future research in this domain.
• The findings are intended to aid research scholars and policymakers in formulating effective strategies to mitigate water stress.

Contributions

• Provides a systematic and in-depth bibliometric overview of the existing literature on climate variability's impact on water availability and quality, addressing a noted gap in understanding upcoming implications.
• Helps identify significant gaps and potential avenues for future research, offering a structured summary for scholars and policymakers.
• Integrates the consideration of population growth into the analysis of climate change impacts on water resources, which is crucial for holistic understanding and policy development.
