Water Colors

Map with red areas in the southwest U.S., Chile, half of Mexico, all of Spain, Italy, Turkey as well as parts of Africa and Australia.
From the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's report Climate Change and Water, this map showing the projected change in annual water runoff in the last decade of this century (compared with runoff in the last 20 years of the 20th century). Runoff is a primary indication of water availability.

There will be wars fought over water in all those red and orange areas.
