摘要

Climate change-induced temperature shocks disrupt the natural water balance and consequently intensify households’ water poverty. In this study, we examine the impact of temperature shocks on households’ water poverty in India using household-level data from two rounds of the India Human Development Survey (IHDS) and climate data from the India Meteorological Department. We find that additional days above 9 °C, especially above 33 °C, significantly increase households’ water poverty. Furthermore, the impact of temperature shocks on households’ water poverty is less severe in regions with higher historical temperature variability as compared to other regions with less temperature variability. These results highlight the need for targeted policies to enhance water infrastructure and adaptive strategies in response to climate-induced temperature shocks.
