在过去二十年中，水安全作为可持续发展的一个关键概念一直备受关注。然而，由于其广泛的解释范围，什么是水安全及其所包含的理解可以随着不同的视角而发生很大变化。通过对学术和灰色文献的回顾，本文对水安全的含义以及如何进行评估进行了深入的全球概述。这些方面都放在一起，在目前的工作，目的是方便访问这一复杂的概念，为学术界，以及决策者和其他利益攸关方参与水资源管理和治理。为了提供一个基础的水安全的理解，我们检查的定义，应用规模，经常使用的方法和方法来研究水安全。我们还提出了纳入水安全框架的指标和方面。报告还概述了为改善水安全而采取的重要行动。作为一个动态和多方面的概念，水安全需要同样多层面和灵活的解释。理解和测量是提高水安全水平的关键。关注气候变化、环境需求、人口、经济和治理如何与水安全相联系，可以通过促进科学、政策和创新来提高影响力。
For the last two decades, water security has been in the spotlight as a key concept for sustainable development. However, due to its wide interpretation range, the understanding of what water security is and what it encompasses can change considerably with different perspectives. By means of a review of both academic and grey literature, this paper presents an in-depth global overview of what water security means and how assessment is being carried out. These aspects are put together in the present work with the aim to facilitate access to this complex concept for academics but also policymakers and other stakeholders involved in water management and governance. Aiming to provide a groundwork for water security understanding, we examine definitions, scales of application, frequent approaches and methodologies used to study water security. We also present indicators and aspects being included in water security frameworks. A summary of important actions towards water security improvement is also presented. As a dynamic and multi-faceted concept, water security requires an equally multi-dimensional and flexible interpretation. Understanding and measuring are key to improving water security levels. Bringing attention to how climate change, environmental needs, demographics, economics and governance are linked to water security can boost impact by prompting science, policies and innovation to come together.
