As the climate becomes increasingly hotter and drier and human activities continue to expand, threats to water security will become more prevalent.
“As the climate becomes increasingly hotter and drier and human activities continue to expand, threats to water security will become more prevalent (AghaKouchak et al., 2018; Hallema et al., 2018; Robinne et al., 2018).”
From Scientists' warning on extreme wildfire risks to water supply (2021) · cites this paper as AghaKouchak et al., 2018
The COMPOUND DISASTERS section (page unavailable) links warm, dry conditions to cascading hazards, describes climate-related challenges to California’s water infrastructure, and says population growth and urbanization exacerbate climate shifts. MORE FIRES, MORE SNOWMELT (page unavailable) says fires can affect water supplies. The paper does not specifically predict that threats to water security will become more prevalent as human activities expand. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
