Abstract:	"Societal attempts of adaptation to water scarcity in fact run the risk of giving rise to mechanisms whereby the overall adaptive capacity of societies are undermined. This problem, arising from the need to apply an increased amount of social resources in order to adapt to water scarcity, constitutes a vicious circle that is often neglected in research on water resources management, and urgently needs to be investigated in order to identify unforeseen bottlenecks."
