      abstract = {Most of the climate change models for South Africa predict  a reduction in freshwater availability by 2050, which  implies that water availability for sectoral production  activities is expected to decline. This decline has an  impact on sectoral output, value added and households’  welfare. Using a computable general equilibrium approach,  this study investigates the possible impact of global  change on households’ welfare. The simulation results show  that water scarcity due to global change can potentially  lead to a general deterioration in households’ welfare. The  poor households, whose incomes are adversely impacted, are  the most vulnerable to the consequences of the impact of  global change on water resources in South Africa. This  vulnerability can only be reduced if welfare policies that  maintain food consumption levels for the least and  low-income households are implemented},
